Preface

PREFACE
“Every problem contains the seed for its solution”
Adage

On November 23, 1993 while working in my office in Copenhagen as a systems analyst


at the main banking software firm in Denmark, I began having intense burning pains on
the left side of my face and the top of my head. It slowly dawned on me that my PC
was causing this, and also the neon lights in the ceiling. I went to my boss to inform
him. He was incredulous. He told me to go home.

On the bus, the neon lights turned on these burning pains again. (After some
minutes the pain assumed the intensity of a burning cigarette tip held
close to the skin.) I found it hard to believe. How was this possible? This
had never happened to me before. On the train the same thing occurred,
the neon lights burned my face and head. After sitting on the train for a
while, the effect spread deeper into my nervous system and I felt dull of
mind and extremely uncomfortable. I got off the train to ease the pain and
took a walk among some trees. After the pain had subsided in the course of half an
hour I got on the train again as I had to go home.

At home I sat in a daze trying to fathom the implications of this sensitivity. I soon
discovered that the TV also caused these pains, as well as the fridge motor, the air-
conditioning motor and the fan. I could feel when the neighbour‘s TV was on. Playing
my stereo also led to burning pains. Yellow incandescent bulbs burned—even a candle
(except when I placed a glass bottle in front of it). Talking on the telephone hurt my
ears after a while (the mobile phone produced intense, stabbing pain after 2 seconds),
and being a short distance from cellular phone users caused facial pain.

Soon I discovered that neon lights, and low energy-consumption lights (they switch
on and off about 200 times per second to save energy, but emit radiation) shone
everywhere and made my life a hell. I could only spend three minutes in a supermarket
before the pain became unbearable and had to flee. I had to leave my apartment when
the neighbour vacuum cleaned, and when his TV was on I could feel it through the wall.

The next step was my doctor. He listened with disbelief and told me that I was
imagining all these things. He advised me to wear PC-screen glasses. (Can you
prevent sunburn by wearing sunglasses?) I was told by my employer there would be no
sick pay unless I went to a psychiatrist, because the employer‘s insurance company
said they would not pay compensation as their medical staff had found no such illness
on the Danish approved illness list, so it must be imaginary, some type of neurosis,
possibly even schizophrenia.

I sent letters to magazines, newspapers and TV stations, but mostly received no


reply. It happened that a local paper would publish a reader letter, but severely
censored as regards my description of symptoms.

I wrote to government ministries, to medical authorities, but invariably got the


standard parrot reply: ‗There is no documentary evidence to prove…‘ , etc.

Preface
I was even invited on Denmark‘s national radio in a one hour program to discuss this
hypersensitivity with a panel consisting of a medical doctor, a psychologist, a work
environment specialist and a physicist. They thought it was very curious, but there was
no follow-up by anyone involved or anyone else.

So what was I to do? After contacting others who had electrical hypersensitivity, I
saw that some of them lived with their spouse and suffered, treated with contempt,
considered hysterical by relatives. Others would find a dwelling only to be forced to
abandon it when a parabolic antenna or a cellular phone repeater mast was installed
nearby; or a neighbour bought a new PC or some other electrical device and placed it
near the bedroom of the hypersensitive person. Some were lucky and had an
understanding spouse. Others again, moved into the woods, far from any electrical
appliance or cables. What would you do?

I also discovered that there are associations for the electrically hypersensitive in
many countries, notably Sweden and the US (see links in Appendix). I also found that
many young people were afflicted with electrical hypersensitivity.

I realized that all of my talents, education and experience had suddenly become
worthless on the market, simply because I could not remain anywhere long enough to
do any work. All mental work nowadays is connected with PCs in one way or another.
All manual labour is associated with proximity to, or the use of electric motors, in one
way or another. Even delivering the morning paper takes place under the aegis of the
ubiquitous street lights, in Copenhagen normally being a neon light or some other type
of lamp that caused burning pains. Re-education meant entering course rooms filled
with neon or energy-saving lights, where overhead projectors with small ventilator
motors were used, along with laptops and other electronic equipment, that would
produce excruciating pains after a while (I had to go out in the woods during every
break to alleviate the pains somewhat). I could not remain in a library for very long. You
guessed why. I had become a useless outcast, a modern day leper. (The good news is
that since then I have become 95% cured.)

___________________________

―So what does this have to do with homeopathy?‖ you might ask. A good question.
As I had been excluded from standard medical treatment, none being available for an
imaginary disease. (I did go to see a psychiatrist, a requisite for receiving sick pay from
the well-meaning Danish social service. An honest, perceptive man, after 5 minutes of
conversation he told me to get out of there, pronouncing me hale and sane.)

I decided to head for the alternative healing zone, where I resolved to try everything
I could find to alleviate my suffering. The week after my affliction manifested, I signed
up for a medical Qi Gong weekend course, where the participants were kind enough to
turn off the neon lights in the gym hall where the course was held (there really are a lot
of nice people out there, anywhere).

The course was held by a Swedish doctor who had learned the technique in China.
He told me that the body has an energy field, called the etheric body, which transforms
incoming electromagnetic fields into useful energy. My etheric body, he said, had been
damaged and was not processing incoming radiation properly. There was a ‗hole‘ in it.

Preface
This led me to further studies of what is called ―esoteric anatomy‖ (see recommended
reading in Appendix), where it became obvious that some type of medicine would be
needed that was capable of affecting the etheric body on the basis of sound principles.

Qi Gong definitely alleviated my agitated nervous system after it had been exposed
to what I call electrosmog (later I wrote a small book on this subject for a Swiss firm
that sells silver-wire cloth bed canopies to shield against microwaves emitted by nearby
cellular phone towers). After fleeing from supermarkets in pain, half an hour of Qi Gong
would set me right again. I practiced Qi Gong for one to two hours a day for many
months. It considerably alleviated, but did not cure the condition.

Then followed kinesiology (no go for me). Then a type of homeopathy where you are
diagnosed while holding electrodes in your hands and prescribed mixtures of
homeopathic low potency remedies to take every day for some months
(no effect either). Acupuncture was definitely good, but improvement
only lasted some days. However, acupuncture was a definite possibility I
would keep in mind. It might depend on the practitioner. I tried treatment
with a German-made frequency generator machine called Biocom with
no result. Then I discovered classical homeopathy, the results of which
convinced me that this was the way to go, and I signed up for a three-year course at
the only school in Denmark where this subject is taught.

After completing what turned out to be four years of study (the curriculum was
expanded), and 350 hours of painful medical science courses held in environments
with considerable electrosmog, I graduated in 1998 and became a Classical
Homeopath.

Practice at my clinics in Copenhagen and Estepona, Spain in the course of 11 years


has convinced me of the great benefits that homeopathic treatment has to offer. To
become a professional takes many years of schooling and practice, but learning to
prescribe homeopathic remedies for everyday conditions does not.

This knowledge will serve you and your family well during your entire life. I have
written this book to pass on some very useful practical applications for a number of
homeopathic remedies for rapidly healing acute illnesses. A complete book like this
was lacking when I received my training. I hope you will find it useful.

Introduction

INTRODUCTION
“There exists a level of consciousness where truth is observed directly”
C.W. Leadbeater

To start you will need to know something about the


development of homeopathy and what it is all about.

Some history

The system of healing called homeopathy was


developed by the brilliant German doctor and
chemist Samuel Hahnemann (born in 1755) during the 1790‘s. He discovered a
principle of cure, namely that treating a patient with diluted substances capable of
producing certain symptoms in healthy people—symptoms obtained by previous testing
on people, rather than animals— could cure a patient with similar symptoms (and,
strange as it may seem, also animalscertainly not a placebo effect).

This principle is called the Law of Similars. Modern medicine (Allopathy) uses the
law of opposites to treat patients, i.e. via substances that are capable of suppressing a
patient's symptoms.

Hahnemann became quite successful, but was persecuted as he would not allow
pharmacists to make his remedies, not trusting them to do it right, and because many
doctors at the time opposed him. (He had a sharp tongue and scolded them for
poisoning their patients with medicines such as mercury cocktails and other practices
he considered harmful.)

In his own words:

―My sense of duty would not easily allow me to treat the unknown pathological state of my
suffering brethren with these unknown medicines. The thought of becoming in this way a
murderer or malefactor towards the life of my fellow human beings was most terrible to me, so
terrible and disturbing that I wholly gave up my practice in the first years of my married life and
occupied myself solely with chemistry and writing.‖ Hahnemann.

In 1810, Hahnemann published the fruits of his labours in a systematic treatise


called The Organon of the Medical Art. This publication laid out the original principles
and practices of homoeopathy for the benefit of other physicians, and for mankind in
general.

In the end, although a lecturer at the university of Leipzig, his license was revoked
after an aging royal patient of his died, and he moved to a small principality in the
Eastern part of Germany named Koethen, where the ruling prince was one of his many

Introduction
In 1830, Hahnemann lost his wife to an illness. This was a great burden to him as he
had to attend to his large family of 11 children. The success of homeopathy, which also
had spread to other European countries, South America and the United States,
intensified opposition at home by envious doctors and drug manufacturers, making life
even more difficult for Hahnemann.

Then in 1835 a 35-year old Parisian woman, Madame Mille Melanie d'Hervilly, who
had been impressed by his writings, came from Paris to visit him. In a short time she
had captivated Hahnemann with her charms. They were married and left for Paris
where, with her contacts in high places, she obtained an authorization for Hahnemann
to practice homeopathy in France.

Hahnemann said in his will that he came to Paris to rest (he was 80 years old when
he arrived), not to work, but his practice soon became larger than ever before. His
consulting room was so crowded and he was so busy that he did not write any new
books.

In Paris, Hahnemann was well received by the aristocratic society. During his time
there, many well known people consulted him for their illnesses. The list included
chemists, doctors, scientists, royalty and musicians from all over Europe. The coaches
of his patients were lined up in front of his villa. Hahnemann always examined his
patients in the presence of his wife, who never left his side.

After a long career as a medical practitioner, researcher, writer and lecturer,


Hahnemann died in 1843 at the age of 88 in Paris, where he is buried.

Many doctors and practitioners helped spread homeopathy throughout the world
during and after the time of Hahnemann. Some of the most famous were Dr.
Constantin Hering (USA), Dr. James Tyler Kent (USA), Dr. John Clarke (UK), Dr. Pierre
Schmidt (Switzerland), Prof. George Vithoulkas (Greece), Dr. Rajan Sankaran (India),
Dr. Alfonso Masi-Elizalde (Argentina).

The use of Homeopathy is widespread in Europe. Top homeopathic remedy


manufacturers are found in England, Germany, France, Belgium and Switzerland.
Homeopathy enjoys excellent status in England, where the Royal Family has employed
homeopathic doctors since the 1830's. There, 45% of conventional MD's refer patients
to homeopaths. Insurance companies pay 50% of a patient‘s fees for homeopathic
treatment.

In Norway homeopathy has achieved prominent status. A recent act of parliament


included homeopathy as a part of accepted medicine. It is to be integrated in the state
social security. Patients will receive state support for homeopathic treatment.

Homeopathy has been practiced in the United States for over 170 years.

Almost all French pharmacies dispense homeopathic remedies, and the use of
homeopathy is covered by state social security. Approximately 30% of the people in
France use homeopathy.

In Asia, homeopathy is widely accepted and used in India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
Mahatma Gandhi's support of homeopathy further strengthened acceptance in India,

Introduction
where there are over 120 homeopathic medical schools. With more than 100,000
homeopathic practitioners in India, it is no wonder that so many books on homeopathy
are authored by Indians.

Homeopathy is well-known and integrated in the countries of South America. There


are many homeopathic pharmacies and doctors. Hospitals in Brazil offer both
homeopathic and conventional allopathic treatment.

What is homeopathy?

It is a holistic therapy
Homeopathy is a holistic system of therapy, because it treats patients on the basis of
their whole condition, in preference to focusing on eradicating individual symptoms,
which can lead to other symptoms appearing elsewhere in the organism—with a
deeper level of pathology.

Homeopathic remedies are tested on people rather than animals


Homeopathy employs remedies that have been tested on people. However, these
remedies also work on animals and plants. Minute doses of substances from the
human, animal, plant and mineral kingdoms are prepared in a way that is unique to
homeopathy, bringing out their latent and marvellous curative powers.

Homeopathic remedies stimulate your body to heal itself


These remedies stimulate and strengthen the vital force of the organism to heal itself.
Thus, many illnesses considered incurable can be cured with homeopathy, as has
been shown and extensively documented for over 200 years by both medical and lay
practitioners in this field.

The body’s energy field


Because the way homeopathy works is not well understood by present-day science
and medical thinking, this marvellous healing method has unfortunately been neglected
by mainstream medicine. (It is worthy of note that, due to ignorance, fixed ideas and
monumental stupidity, it took the British Admiralty 200 years to accept and implement
the prevention and cure for scurvy on their ships by introducing citrus fruits into their
sailors' diets. Meanwhile about 5000 sailors died each year. More than 200 years have
passed since the groundbreaking discovery of Hahnemann called Homeopathy...)

Now that the existence of an energy field (often called the aura) enveloping and
penetrating living organisms is becoming generally known, among others through
Kirlian photography, it has become an object of research to show that homeopathy
works through the aura.

Types of homeopathy

Classical homeopathy

In classical homeopathy, the homeopath elicits detailed information from the patient,
which includes all past symptoms and illnesses as well as illnesses found on the family
tree of the patient. Based on the symptom picture and the past history of the patient,

7
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Introduction
the homeopath prescribes a single remedy—to be taken only once— that is capable of
producing a similar symptom picture in healthy persons, as verified by previous
homeopathic testing (called provings), the results of which are collected in books
known as Materia Medica. The potency of the remedy is usually 200C or above,
although lower potency remedies may be prescribed in certain cases to be taken on a
daily basis. Computer software may be used to aid in the selection of a remedy.

The patient is asked to return in a month for a follow-up consultation to monitor the
effect of the remedy. If the remedy is working well, no other remedy is prescribed (or, if
the patient is taking a low-potency remedy, he/she may be asked to continue with the
remedy), and the patient may return at monthly intervals, or may already be cured.

Polypharmacy

In polypharmacy, which is generally practiced by medical doctors and other therapists,


the medicine used may contain from several up to 25 or more low-potency
homeopathic remedies.

This is not really homeopathy as per its definition, namely the prescription of a single
(which can be a fixed combination of several substances) remedy which has been
tested on people (called a proving) and the results recorded in a Materia Medica
which homeopaths can use to find the single remedy most similar to the patient's
symptom picture.

Therefore, practitioners of polypharmacy should use another name for their type of
therapy rather than call it homeopathy—which it is not. There are therapy forms in
which such homeopathic complex remedies are used which are not called
homeopathy. Examples of these are biopathy, vega therapy and naturopathy. In
polypharmacy, diagnosis is often carried out with the aid of electronic equipment and
standard indicator vials, and may involve the use of kinesiology.

Recent developments in homeopathy

Cancer treatment
The most successful method of treating cancer with homeopathy I know of was
developed by the Indian doctor Ramakrisnan over a period of years with 5000 patients,
providing a statistical result base that should convince anyone who is not bound by
fixed ideas on the subject of healing. (There is a saying: ‗No man is as blind as one
who refuses to see‘.)

This method is expounded in the book A Homeopathic Approach to Cancer written


by Dr. A.U. Ramakrishnan and the internationally well-known homeopath and author
Catherine R. Coulter.

The therapy can be administered in conjunction with normal medical procedures or


without them, but always with an oncologist monitoring patient progress.

The success rates depend on the location and type of cancer, but not so much on its
stage. For example, breast cancer treatment has been 80% successful in 380 cases;
lung cancer 58% in 90 cases; prostate cancer 80% in 150 cases; brain cancer 70% in

8
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Introduction
250 cases; bone cancer 74% in 114 cases. Most results for other cancer types lie
between these values, although those for liver and colon cancer are between 30 and
40%.

The method can easily and effectively be used for prevention. As soon as
precancerous symptoms are detected, treatment brings swift results. It is also used
preventively in healthy patients with a history of cancer in the family.

Aids treatment
Peter Chappell is an English homeopath and inventor with over thirty years extensive
experience in the practice and teaching of homeopathy in over twenty countries on four
continents.

He went to Ethiopia in October 2001 to discover a cure for AIDS. In early 2002, after
many AIDS patients and much thought, he invented a new way to reprogram and
revitalise the immune system and created a remedy to do this.

This remedy, called PC1, has been proven successful in Africa and India over a
three year period. In one trial in Malawi, independently documented, 85% of AIDS
patients recovered. It is so effective that in Peter Chappell's opinion, if PC1 were used
widely, dying from AIDS would stop and people would live a full life span or gain many
extra years of life.

In Western countries this remedy has been less successful and has had to be
modified to take into account the lower vitality of developed-country patients,
complications due to taking drugs and medicines, and the presence of psychological
traumas not found in Africa.

However, results have been very encouraging in many cases and the remedy is
continually being fine-tuned.

An illustrative case is included here:

Ethiopian woman aged 35, HIV-positive, husband died of AIDS, has been nursing child. She is losing strength,
weak from cooking. Chest pains, no saliva, dry mouth although drinks a lot. Problem with heart. Tongue is coated,
nausea from eating. Headaches, lack of appetite, losing weight.

After two weeks with PC1


Little improvement, but more strength.

After seven weeks with PC1


Strength is back. Problem with burning urination. Headache mostly gone. Appetite returned. Weight is good. Heart
problem gone.

After fifteen weeks with PC1


Everything is fine. There are no more pains. No symptoms at all. Gained 3 kilos. "Everything that was wrong with
me has gone."

What this book offers

WHAT THIS BOOK OFFERS


“The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.”
Socrates

You will learn about prevention and how to treat the acute illnesses of your family
members, friends and pets with homeopathy. As virologists claim (CNN PRESENTS,
December 11, 2005 - 22:00 ET) that the bird flu will appear with 100% certainty,
information on how to survive the bird flu is included. It is my hope that your successes
will stimulate those of you who have the healing inclination to pursue a career as a
homeopath.

You will also learn how to prepare emergency homeopathic remedies using minimal
resources under extreme survival conditions, such as after the collapse of civilization in
your area, or if you find yourself in the wilderness far from human settlements.

Included are 35 homeopathic remedies in the Treatment with basic acute remedies
section. These constitute your basic resources in learning how to treat acute illnesses.
In the next section, How to use this book, you are given the steps to take in gaining
mastery in using homeopathic acute remedies. Treating chronic illness requires many
years of training and experience. It is my hope that after seeing the often magical and
instant results of homeopathic remedies you will pursue further studies on how to treat
chronic illness. Doing so with homeopathy will ensure that your patients will enjoy
greatly improved life quality, extending into their late yearsthe royal family of England
is an example of longevity with homeopathy.

In the Appendix you will find many homeopathic resources, such as where to obtain
remedies, supplies, books, further training and professional treatment.

Sections with exercises and answers have been included to test your understanding
of the material. In homeopathy, the rules of treatment are different from traditional
methods, so the exercises are also intended to make you aware of these differences.

You will find an Acute Illness Repertory at the end of the book. The Repertory lists
illnesses alphabetically, subdivided into remedies associated with symptoms that may
appear with the illness concerned. You can find this repertory on the website
www.homeopathy.euni.org under Urgencies, a database facility for looking up your
acute illness.

You will see many references to remedies that are not included in this book. You
can look up any such remedy abbreviations in the Appendix. For information on these
remedies you can consult a homeopathic Materia Medica or search the internet. Use
these remedies as you would those described in this book.

How to use this book

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK


“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.”
Aristotle

Start by putting together your own personal starter kit as given in Appendix C. You will
need to find a remedy supplier and a small box with vials,
such as the one in the figure, that can contain the ten
remedies of the kit.

The next step is to learn about these remedies by studying


them in the Treatment with basic acute remedies section.

Figure 1. Carton remedy kit Then you will have to find patients in your environment who
have an acute problem that requires the use of a remedy.
Start with looking for Arnica candidates: people, animals or plants with any kind of
injury, whether it be a sports injury, a fall, an operation, a sore or a bruise . . . It won‘t
be difficult to find one, you can be sure.

Tell your prospective patient that you would like to give him/her a pill that will speed
up his/her recovery, a homeopathic pill that contains no chemicals and produces no
side-effects. The pill (use liquid potencies for diabetics) you give them contains milk
sugar. They have nothing to lose, so why not give it a try.

If possible, follow up by checking on your patient a day or so later to see how it is


going. You may be surprised how rapidly an improvement occurs, even within minutes,
especially where there is intense pain.

Stick with Arnica until you have become familiar with its vast range of usefulness as
regards physical trauma, and even emotional trauma. Be aware that Arnica will often
clear up the effects of old injuries (e.g. falls from a high place, accidents, head injuries,
etc., even if they happened 20 or more years ago.

When you feel you know how and when to use Arnica, proceed with another of the
10 remedies, such as Rhus Toxicodendron, which often follows Arnica. It is
characterized by stiff muscles and/or joints that improve after moving around for a
while.

Ruta Graveolens is a close cousin when tendons and ligaments are involved, such
as in tennis elbow.

As you become familiar with the use of the 10 remedies in the starter kit, move on to
other remedies in the Treatment with basic acute remedies section.

The Acute illness situations section contains fruitful possibilities for the use of acute
homeopathic remedies.

When you run into a patient with an acute problem, check the Acute Illness
Repertory at the back of this book (or the Urgency lookup on www.clinic.euni.org) to
see whether the problem is listed there. This will widen your scope of knowledge and
experience. You will note that some homeopathic remedies found there are not

12

How to use this book
included in this book. Not to worry, use the opportunity to learn more about them, either
from books listed in the Appendix or by searching the Internet.

After you feel proficient in the use of acute homeopathic remedies, read the Special
situations section and look for people you might be able to help with the appropriate
remedy for the problem they have.

Beyond this point you can extend your knowledge by attending a course on
homeopathy. There is a free introductory eCourse, as well as an 80 hour eCourse
available for a reasonable price on my website www.homeopathy.euni.org. Or you
might find a school of homeopathy you would like to attend. Most of them offer a
curriculum of several years' duration.

Whatever you do, studying on your own, or in a professional school, extending your
knowledge and practice of homeopathy will benefit yourself, your family, friends, pets
and many others in your environment.

Benefits of homeopathy for you, your family, friends and pets

BENEFITS OF HOMEOPATHY FOR YOU, YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND


PETS

“Nothing ventured, nothing gained”


Old proverb

Specific benefits

 Nip the flu in the bud with just one pill as soon as you notice flu symptoms.

 Recover quickly from injuries, operations and dental work.

 Rapidly and effectively stop diarrhoea and vomiting from eating bad food.

 Cure travel sickness in cars, boats, airplanes, etc. and enjoy your trip.

 Cure fear of flying before you travel.

 Tranquilize your teething baby with a simple remedy.

 Greatly speed up your child‘s recovery from childhood illnesses, such as the
measles.

 Help your dog, cat, horse or other pet, recover rapidly from injuries, bites and other
traumas.

 Help your dog, cat, horse or other pet cure fears, aggressions and other strange
behaviour.

 Help your pet overcome emotional trauma from moving house, while you are away
on a trip or after the death of a loved one.

General benefits

 With homeopathy you provide and obtain effective chemical-free natural treatment.

 With homeopathy you can prevent future serious illness by treating body functions
that are not presently working as they should (called dysfunctions). You should
consult a professional homeopath for such treatment as it does not fall into the
acute illness category.

 As you learn to treat common acute problems yourself, you won‘t need to take liver-
toxifying pharmaceutical medicines, or receive treatment such as vaccinations, that
very often lead to unwanted and harmful side effects such as auto-immune
diseases, and can harm and permanently distort your natural immune response
mechanisms (read the Possible Side Effects section of the leaflet included with any
pharmaceutical drug).

 The use of homeopathic remedies leads to greater resistance to disease as the


body‘s defence system is strengthened. Many homeopathic patients live to a ripe
old age with excellent life quality (the English royal family, for example).

14
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Benefits of homeopathy for you, your family, friends and pets
 Correctly prescribed homeopathic remedies increase your energy and vitality.

 The quality of your life will improve as your health becomes more stable after
homeopathic treatment.

 You will save money due to very low remedy and treatment costs. For a few dollars
you can buy a flask containing 100 or more pills of a remedy for acute conditions
that will last you for years.

 Treatment with a professional homeopath is very reasonable as you do not need to


see the homeopath every week. Normal procedure in homeopathy is to follow up
the initial consultation with another one after a month. The number of subsequent
follow-up visits depends on the seriousness of your condition and how long you
have been suffering from it. You may pay 50-80 dollars each time. Of course, there
are famous homeopaths and specialists in treating cancer, aids, etc. who charge
more.

 Many homeopathic patients live to a ripe old age, enjoying a high level of life
quality. Consider the royal family of England, who have employed a homeopathic
doctor as court physician for over 100 years.

 Children treated with homeopathic remedies have fewer allergies and are generally
more healthy than other children.

CHAPTER 1 - HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES


“In my Father’s house are many mansions”
The Bible, John xiv. 2.

How to make homeopathic remedies yourself

Understanding this subject is very important as you may need


to make your own remedies in cases of emergency, such as flu
during epidemics, when a remedy is unavailable, or after
natural catastrophes. Homeopathic remedies are made from
solid (e.g. gold, sea salt, sand), liquid (e.g. plant juices, snake
Figure 3. Three remedy flasks poison, milk), and ethereal (e.g. magnetic fields, moonlight,
the colour blue) substances. We will deal with liquids first.

How to make homeopathic remedies from liquid substances (succussion)

Suppose you want to make a homeopathic remedy from the juice of a plant, say
Belladonna (a useful remedy for sudden high fevers in children). The following is the
procedure used by Hahnemann for Belladonna, a juicy plant:

1. Obtain a fresh Belladonna plant. Then chop and pound the fresh plant to a pulp and
squeeze all the juice you can from it. Measure the volume of the plant juice and
place it into a dark-coloured bottle that contains an equal volume of 86% pure
alcohol (the type of alcohol called ethanol— ethyl alcohol or drinking alcohol). The
final mixture will have an alcohol concentration of about 43%.
2. You now have what is called a mother tincture which will be the basis for making
your remedies of Belladonna in the future. (Ideally you should let the mother
tincture stand for five days to let it settle, to be shaken now and then, expressed
and filtered in the end, but if you need it right now, you can proceed with two parts
of it as indicated below).
3. To make the first potency of the remedy take 2 parts (say two drops) of the mother
tincture (1 part, or drop, of it already consists of alcohol) and place it in a new
bottle, or test tube, with 98 parts (drops) of 43% alcohol. (If you need to dilute
alcohol to a strength of 43%, use distilled water.)
4. Cork the bottle, hold it in your hand and strike your hand with the bottle against a
hard, elastic object (such as a leather-bound book, a phone book or your other
hand). Ten strikes were normally used by Hahnemann.1 This is the process called
succussion. The result is that you now have a bottle with a liquid homeopathic
remedy which you can label 1C, i.e. the contents have a potency of 1C. The C here
stands for centessimal and is the first potency on the centessimal scale (dilutions of
1 to 100).

1
Some pharmacies may succuss 30 or 100 times. In Argentina 1000 times by hand is used by the Godoy
pharmacy, which they call KSM potencies. I have tried these remedies and must say they are very
powerful.

16
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Homeopathic remedies
5. Put your bottle aside, take a new bottle and add one drop of the 1C potency liquid
you have just produced to the new bottle (or test tube) and top up with 99 drops of
86% alcohol. You now succuss the new bottle with its solution 10 times (or more,
according to your preference) as before, and you can label the bottle 2C.
6. Put your bottle aside, take a new bottle and add one drop of the 2C potency liquid
you have just produced to the new bottle and top up with 99 drops of 86% alcohol.
Succuss the new bottle 10 times and you will have a bottle with a Belladonna
remedy of potency 3C.
7. This process is continued until you obtain the desired potency.
With Belladonna it is good to have the potencies of 6C, 12C and 30C available. If
you have the energy (it can take a whole day), 200C may be needed for high fevers
and headaches, but in a pinch you can always try any potency you have available.

To make 200C you would need 200 bottles (or test tubes), which can be quite
costly. The Russian homeopath Korsakov found a solution to this. After succussing, he
would empty out the bottle and just fill it up again with 99 drops of alcohol to make the
next potency, considering that 1 drop of the dumped solution would adhere to the inner
surface of the bottle. This way you can make the potencies with just one bottle or tube.
(You might want to store intermediate potencies such as 6, 12 and 30C in separate
bottles along the way.)

Pharmacies that sell homeopathic remedies made using the Korsakov method label
them, 30CK or 200CK, etc. To indicate that the multi-bottle method of Hahnemann was
used, a remedy may be labelled 30CH or 200CH. Korsakovian remedies are
considered slightly weaker than the multi-bottle (CH) remedies, but they work fine just
the same.

How to make homeopathic remedies from solid substances (trituration)

Suppose you want to make a homeopathic remedy of sea salt (called Natrum
Muriaticum in homeopathy). Nat-mur, as it is popularly called among homeopaths, is
very useful for cold sores. In high potencies (200C and higher) it is a very effective
remedy for long-term sadness due to loss of a loved one. Just about anyone could
benefit greatly from a single dose of nat-m with a potency of 1M (the same as 1000C).

Hahnemann‘s procedure for making a homeopathic remedy from a solid substance


(trituration) is given below for sea salt:

1. Place 60 mg (1 grain) of sea salt reduced to powder in a porcelain mortar


containing 1980 mg (33 grains) of powdered milk sugar (lactose).
2. Rub (triturate) with an unglazed pestle for 6 minutes.
3. Scrape the contents of the mortar for 4 minutes with a porcelain spatula.
4. Triturate again with the pestle for 6 minutes without adding any lactose.
5. Scrape the contents for 4 minutes as in step 3.
6. Add another 1980 mg of lactose.

17
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Homeopathic remedies
7. Triturate for 6 minutes.
8. Scrape for 4 minutes as in step 3.
9. Triturate for 6 minutes
10. Scrape for 4 minutes.
11. Add 1980 mg of lactose.
12. Triturate for 6 minutes.
13. Scrape for 4 minutes.
Figure 4. Mortar and pestle.
14. Triturate for 6 minutes.
15. Scrape for 4 minutes.
Now you have a powder which contains 1/100th of a grain (60 mg) of uniformly
potentised sea salt, i.e. the potency of 1C. Continue as follows:

1. Take 60 mg (1 grain) of this powder and place it in a mortar with 1980 mg (33
grains) of milk sugar, as in step 1 above.
2. Repeat steps 2 to 15 above.
Now you have a powder which contains 1/10,000th of a grain (60 mg) of uniformly
potentised sea salt, i.e. the potency of 1C. Continue as follows:

3. Take 60 mg (1 grain) of this powder and place it in a mortar with 1980 mg (33
grains) of milk sugar, as in step 1 above.
4. Repeat steps 2 to 15 above.
Now you have a powder which contains 1/1,000,000th of a grain (60 mg) of uniformly
potentised sea salt, i.e. a potency of 3C.

Take one grain (60 mg) of this and dissolve it in a vial containing 100 drops of
diluted alcohol (50% distilled water and 50% alcohol). Hold the vial in the hand and
strike it against a hard surface twice, i.e. succuss it twice. Now you have the potency
4C, but it has been transformed from a solid to a liquid form, and to make the
remaining potencies desired you proceed as described above under the section for
making liquid potencies (succussing 10, or more, times for each potency).

Hope you get the idea. Instead of using such a large amount of milk sugar, you can
scale the production down. You will notice that a ratio of 1 part to 33 parts is used, i.e.
1 grain to 33 grains, where 1 grain is 60 mg. So we can say you need 1 part to 33
parts, whatever you select for the size of the part, for example 1 mg = 1 part. Then the
33 parts would equal 33 mg.

The procedure above is taken from Hahnemann‘s procedure for turning arsenic into
the homeopathic remedy Arsenicum Album—a great remedy to cure the effects of food
poisoning—in his master work Organon. I have applied it to sea salt as you probably
don't want to handle arsenic very much.

How to make homeopathic remedies from ethereal substances

Examples of remedies made from ethereal substances (also known as imponderable


substances) are Electricitas (electricity), Magnetis polis australis (south pole of
magnet—good for ingrown toe nails), Luna (moonlight— good for sleepwalking), Blue
(the colour), X-ray (x rays), Sol (sunlight).

Perhaps this will inspire you to use your imagination for making your own remedy
and carry out a proving for it. (See section on proving.)

The way to make such remedies is to expose lactose (milk sugar) to the influence of
the ethereal substance for some hours. To make remedies from electricity and the
magnetic south pole: respectively expose lactose to a current of electricity, the
magnetic field of the south pole of a magnet (remedies have also been made for the
north pole and for both poles together, namely Magnetis polis arcticus, Magnetis poli
ambo).

You then dissolve the exposed lactose in about 5 times its weight of water. Add 10
to 20% alcohol to prevent the growth of fungus, and you have a mother tincture for your
new remedy.

To make potencies of your new remedy proceed as above under How to make
homeopathic remedies from liquid substances, starting at the point where a mother
tincture has been made.

How to make homeopathic remedies for special purposes

Making homeopathic remedies for special purposes can be extremely useful, even life
saving. If you want to make a remedy to counteract an epidemic, follow the procedure
given in the Making a homeopathic nosode section.

A remedy can be made for anything that might be causing an adverse effect on a
living organism, such as local skin exposure to a chemical, a medicine that has made
you sick, radiations that have had an adverse effect on your health, an animal that has
bitten you. (Paracelsus, the great 15th century physician who is considered the father of toxicology, used
a sample of the faeces of his patients to cure the black plague—and it worked!)

1. Obtain a small sample of the offending substance or influence. (If it is a solid


substance you can soak it in water for some hours and use a portion of this water. If it is an
influence (vibration, field, etc.), expose milk sugar to it for some hours and use a portion of
the milk sugar as a sample.)

2. Put the sample into a bottle filled with water (tap water, distilled water, spring
water). (If you want to follow a potency scale, use the ratio of 1:10 for the D or X scale, and
a ratio of 1:100 for the centessimal scale. See the sections on how remedies for these
scales are prepared.) You choose the size of the bottle depending on the volume you need
for your purpose, e.g. 10 ml, 30 ml, 50 ml, etc. The dosage will be a few drops on the
tongue each time (5 drops go into a millilitre). If the condition is severe, you will need to
repeat the dose more often.)

3. Strike the bottle held in your hand hard on a hard surface such as a book 40 times.
4. Pour out the contents of the bottle.

5. Refill it with water.
6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 the number of times (say n) necessary to obtain the potency
you want. (n should be at least 3).
7. To the final solution you need to add alcohol (vodka, brandy, whisky, etc.) as a
preservative, to avoid the growth of fungus.

How to make homeopathic remedies using a method based on radiesthesia

For this purpose, you can use the decagon based on radiesthesic2 investigations of the
Belgian brothers F. and W. Servranx, shown in the figure below. The inner and outer
radii of the circles containing the decagons should be 5 and 6 cm, respectively.

Write the name of the remedy, such as Arnica, and the


potency desired on a slip of paper, which is then placed
parallel to one of the sides of the decagon. Orient this side
to magnetic north.

The next step is to fill a shot glass or cup with 10 to 20 ml


of a liquor, such as brandy or whisky, or clean water, and
place the glass in the centre of the decagon figure.

Figure 5. Remedy maker For high potencies, let the glass stand for about 5
minutes, 15 minutes for middle potencies and 30 minutes
for low potencies.

You can then pour this remedy into a dropper bottle for later use and label it. The
remedy can be used as you would a normal homeopathic remedy. The strength of such
a remedy may not be very great, but the remedy can be used in a pinch when the
normally manufactured remedy is unavailable.

How to make “homeopathic” remedies using an Apache medicine man method

I include this method which I learned from a Mexican shaman of the Toltec line named
Augustin. It is quite interesting as it parallels the concepts of making homeopathic
remedies developed by Hahnemann. According to the shaman, this method derives
from the Apache tribe.

The Apache medicine man would meditate on the patient‘s problem and arrive at a
remedy source with the right qualities for curing the patient, such as a bear claw, an
eagle feather, etc.

He would place, say, an eagle feather, on a base and then a container of water on
top of the feather. Subsequently, he would dance around very close to the water
container striking a small handheld drum while chanting, thus imbuing the water with
the qualities of the eagle feather via the vibrations of the drum and voice.

The patient would then be given the water to be taken until cured, or not.

Radiesthesia simply defined is the science of detecting and transmitting subtle energies. A book with this and many other useful
diagrams can be found in the book Os Gráficos em Radiestesia by António Rodriguez, listed in the Bibliography, a Spanish version
of which can be downloaded from www.clinica.euni.org by clicking on the geometric symbol on the main page.

It should be noted that many homeopathic remedies are made from animal sources,
among others the blood of an American bald eagle, tiger‘s urine, bitches‘ and cat‘s
milk, the ambergris of whales, and many more—which remedies have proven quite
useful in curing mental, emotional and physical symptoms.

You might want to try this Apache medicine man method, as I am sure it will give
good results. It has been said that there is nothing new under the sun.

How to make homeopathic creams and ointments

An ointment is a viscous semisolid preparation used topically on a variety of body


surfaces. It is a fatty preparation with a softer consistency than waxes. The vehicle of
an ointment is known as an ointment base.

Creams and ointments contain from 3 to 5% of their total weight of mother tincture
as the active ingredient.

Ingredients to use for ointment bases:

 Vegetable oils
As heat is used to prepare an ointment, it is better to choose more saturated
oils that are stable to heat such as coconut and olive oil (cold-pressed) to make
an ointment base.

 Beeswax
White beeswax is chemically treated to clean and bleach it. You are better off
using yellow beeswax, which is filtered and has had the honey removed by
washing in water. The reason for adding beeswax to the vegetable oil is to set
it, providing the ointment with consistency.

 Lanolin
Also called wool fat, is a greasy yellow substance secreted by the sebaceous
glands of wool-bearing animals such as sheep.

Homeopathic remedies

Preparation procedure

General comments:

 Caution: Applying heat to oils and waxes should ONLY be accomplished with a
water bath. Keep the oil mix away from direct heat, especially naked flame.
Always have a suitable fire extinguisher and a wet blanket nearby.

 Mother tincture should only be added at the lowest possible temperature to


avoid any antidoting effect.

 It is easier to measure ingredients by weight using scales sensitive down to


1 gm rather than measuring by volume. This avoids ingredient loss to the
measuring vessels and at clean up time. 10 ml of a vegetable oil approximates
9 gm by weight.

 Suitable mixing vessels are either stainless or enamel, having straight sides
and an open pouring spout.

Steps

1. To make the ointment base, weigh out the oil and wax components into a
suitable stainless vessel and heat them by placing them in a heated water bath.
Do this until they have just melted.
2. Remove the mixture from the bath and with stirring allow it to cool until just
starting to set. This is indicated by thickening and a milky appearance. You can
encourage cooling by placing the mixing vessel in or over a cold-water bath, but
use constant stirring and remove set ointment from the sides of the vessel,
stirring it back into the liquid.
3. Have the other ingredients ready to be added directly by weighing into the
vessel, or from separate measuring containers.
4. Place the mix back in the unheated hot water bath to maintain a little heat input.
To the non-lumpy liquid ointment slowly and separately add the
aqueous/alcohol ingredients with vigorous stirring. Excessive heat will
evaporate alcohol leading to insoluble herb deposits in the ointment.
5. Then add the Rosemary antioxidant and infused essential oils slowly with
vigorous stirring.
6. Add the fragrant essential oils with vigorous stirring.
7. Lastly, add the flax seed oil slowly and stir until the liquid mix is clear of solids.
8. If lumps are still present, with vigorous stirring apply a little heat by placing
briefly in a gently heated water bath.
9. Remove the mixing vessel from any heat source and as the liquid ointment
starts to set it will increase in viscosity, go milky and start setting on the sides.
10. When the liquid starts to go milky and thickens, wipe the bottom of the vessel
and with stirring, pour into ready untopped jars. Heat the vessel gently in a little
hot water bath to melt remaining ointment from the sides, wipe the water off and
pour again.

22

Homeopathic remedies
11. When filling the jars, pour to ―overfill‖ to allow for contraction of the ointment as
it sets.
12. Clean up is best facilitated by using paper towels to wipe the vessel clean. Then
wash well with very hot soapy water, and, if possible, pour out onto soil rather
than down the sink where it can set. Rinse the vessels well to remove any soap
residues.
13. Keep notes on your process and prepare and apply a label.

How to discover and test new homeopathic remedies (“prove remedies” )

To obtain the symptom picture of a plant you have found in your area, you first need to
make a potency as described above under How to make a homeopathic remedy. Let‘s
say you have made Remedy X 30C from the root of a plant.

You, as the supervisor, will then need some volunteers to take the remedy, say five.
If you don‘t have any volunteers, you can do the proving yourself and be your own
supervisor. In the early days of homeopathy Hahnemann and others had to do this.

If this is not to be a solo proving, the remedy is distributed to the provers, who are
instructed to keep it away from light, heat and strong odours.

Note down the symptoms of the provers before they start taking remedy X. This is to
ensure that such symptoms are not recorded as belonging to the remedy, unless they
become worse or better during the proving, in which case remedy X has had some
effect.

Provers are to record their symptoms daily in their own diary for a week before
taking remedy X as training in observing their own symptoms and their normal state.

Provers start taking remedy X on the day agreed with you, the supervisor. The time
of day when the dose is taken should be noted in the diary. Weather conditions should
also be noted.

Remedy X should be taken on an empty stomach and with a clean mouth. An


interval of 20 minutes before and after taking remedy X should be kept free of activities
such as tooth brushing, ingesting food and drink, smoking and being in a perfumed or
incensed space. The remedy is taken up to three times a day for two days.

After taking the first dose, the relaxed prover should spend at least an hour
afterwards without any distractions to become more aware of any subtle thoughts,
feelings, mental images and sensations. Anything noted should be recorded in the
prover‘s diary. Early symptoms can be quite important information.

If a prover experiences symptoms, no further doses of the remedy should be taken


for the moment. The following are considered proving symptoms:

1. Any symptoms never experienced before.


2. Any change or intensification of an existing symptom.
3. Any strong return of an old symptom that has not been experienced for more
than a year.

23
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Homeopathic remedies

Provers must avoid taking any medication of any kind during the proving, especially
antibiotics, vitamin or mineral supplements, herbal or homeopathic remedies and all
narcotics (moderate intake of alcohol is permitted).

Antidotes such as coffee, camphor and mints must be avoided. Moderation is to be


maintained in work, alcohol, exercise and diet. Provers should stick to their usual habits
within this framework.

Provers should let the supervisor know of any medical or dental emergencies.

Provers should avoid discussing their symptoms with anyone besides the
supervisor.

Provers should maintain contact with the supervisor daily. As the proving progresses
this may be changed to twice a week and then weekly.

Provers should record old or new symptoms when they appear, with time and date.

A new page in the diary is started each day with the date noted at the top.
Symptoms are written on alternate lines, i.e. double-spaced. Diaries for making notes
should be kept on hand at all times.

The following should be noted as precisely as possible in the prover‘s own


language:

1. Location: Accurate anatomical description, noting side of body affected and


adding any necessary diagrams.
2. Sensation: Whether burning, dull, lancinating, shooting, stitching, etc.
3. Modality: Better or worse from weather, company, dark, light, standing, lying,
food, etc. Provers should try any of these or other modalities to see whether the
symptom is affected and note any changes.
4. Time: Times of symptom onset, disappearance or alteration should be noted.
Whether the symptom is usually better or worse at a particular time of day and
whether this is usual for the prover should be noted.
5. Intensity: The sensation is described and the effect of the symptom on the
prover.

Provers should review the following checklist each day to make sure all symptoms
have been observed and recorded:

 Mind
 Digestive System
 Head
 Urinary System
 Eyes
 Genitalia
 Ears
 Sex
 Nose

24
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Homeopathic remedies
 Extremities
 Mouth
 Skin
 Throat
 Temperature
 Chest and Respiration
 Sleep and Dreams
 Back
 Generalities

A full description of any dreams should be given by provers, including the general
feeling or impression the dream left on the prover.

As they are quite important, any mental and emotional symptoms should be noted
even if they are vague, and also whether the prover is drawn to certain:

 thoughts
 activities
 objects
 environments
 people
 situations

If the prover explores such urges, what occurs on doing so should be noted.

Female provers should note when they have a period and any differences in
symptoms before, during or after.

Provers should include reports from friends and relatives.

Provers should make a general summary at the end of the proving, noting how the
proving affected them in general: how the experience has affected their health.

As far as possible, provers should try to classify each of their symptoms by noting
the corresponding abbreviation below next to each entry:

RS – A recent symptom, i.e. a current symptom or one of the last year.

NS – A new symptom.

OS – An old symptom. When the symptom occurred previously.

AS - Alteration in a present or old symptom, i.e. it used to be on the left side, but is
now on the right side.

US - An unusual symptom for the prover.

When there has been no change in a prover‘s symptom picture for a month, the
proving is ended. Provers must arrange to meet with the supervisor as soon as
possible in order to review diaries together.

25
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Homeopathic remedies
When meeting with the supervisor, provers will compare and clarify their notes. Any
further comments, thoughts or insights about the proving are added to the prover‘s
diary.

Diaries are collected by the supervisor where information will be compiled and
sorted.

The supervisor will contact the provers some months later to see if any further
symptoms have appeared.

Finally, provers are called to a meeting by you, the supervisor, in which the results
of proving the remedy are revealed.

This is the way the homeopathic materia medica has been built up in the course of
more than two centuries, during which many incredibly effective remedies have been
discovered in such simple substances as sand, sea salt, metals, plants, and so on.

Should you find yourself at a point in history when civilization has collapsed due to
catastrophic natural or human-caused events, you will be able to create a new materia
medica from the mineral, plant and animal and ethereal kingdoms at hand.

The process is simple, it does not require animal testing and does not cost
thousands of man-hours of research, the sufferings of countless experimental
animals—creating bad karma for the perpetrators—and millions of dollars to create
medicines that make people even more sick than they were before taking such
medicines.

Our civilization is heading for better days where everyone will practice more natural
lifestyles and minimally-sized governments will govern more sanely.

Homeopathic remedies

What are the sources of homeopathic remedies?

Homeopathic remedies derive from the environment of man, in which he has lived for
millions of years. These remedies are obtained from the following sources:

 The mineral kingdom


 The plant kingdom
 The animal kingdom
 The human kingdom
 The ethereal kingdom

Mineral Remedies

Mineral remedies include elements such as gold, silver, copper, platinum, and sulphur
as well as compounds such as calcium carbonate, sodium chloride, and nitric acid. The
minerals may be used in a purified form or as found in nature.

For example, sodium chloride is a powerful anti-depressant, as is gold.

Synthesized chemicals such as cortisone and penicillin are also made into
homeopathic remedies. Gunpowder is used as a remedy for severe headaches and
suppurating sores.

Plant Remedies

Plant remedies are made from stems, roots, leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, barks and
whole plants. The plants used range from lichens and mosses to large trees. Remedies
such as Belladonna and Arnica are from the plant kingdom.

For example, Cactus is an excellent remedy for heart problems, the chickpea
(known as Lathyrus Sativus) can both prevent and cure polio. (In Marbella, Spain I was
almost thrown out of the house for mentioning to the dinner hostess that chickpea can cure polio—50%
cured in an Argentinean epidemic of the 50‘s. This was too outrageous for her to believe. I told her she
could verify this on the internet, but this reasonable reply did not penetrate the heavy emotional cloud in
which she had wrapped herself. I must say that I have observed similar reactions on explaining
homeopathy to people who subscribe to the orthodox dogmas of currently practiced medicine and science,
with an at times touching and child-like faith.)

Animal Remedies

Animal remedies are obtained from all types of animals, insects and living organisms
may become sources of remedies. This includes spiders, dogs, eagles, whales, tigers,
frogs, snakes and many more.

New provings are being made continually. Remedies are mostly derived from animal
secretions, but whole insects are often used, such as the honey bee.

For example, a remedy made from the ink of cuttlefish called Sepia is a powerful
remedy for hormonal problems. (Women who have taken contraceptive pills for quite
some time or have had reactions to them should take a single dose of Sepia 200C to
clear up any harmful effects of such pills.) The remedy Apis can prevent anaphylactic

27
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Homeopathic remedies
shock after a bee sting in those who are allergic to bee poison. Such people should
have Apis 200C pills with them at all times.

Nosodes (from the Greek nosonos which means disease) are prepared from
disease products of animals, such as Lyssinum from the saliva of rabid dog. It is used
to cure rabies and effects of animal bites. Take 200C immediately after a dog bite.

Remedies called sarcodes (sark means flesh in Greek) are prepared from the
secretions or tissues of healthy organisms. Examples are: the remedies Insulinum
made from animal pancreatic cells and Thyroidinum made from animal thyroid glands.

Insulinum has been used to cure skin problems, Thyroidinum to regulate


metabolism.

Human Remedies

Human nosodes are prepared from disease products such as cancer cells, smallpox
pustules and gonorrhoeal secretions, bacteria such as those found in human intestines,
and viruses such as the syphilis and influenza viruses.

These remedies are quite powerful and are often used to eradicate predispositions
inherited from ancestors who had cancer, gonorrhoea, syphilis, etc. Prospective
parents should consider having their inherited predispositions checked with a
homeopath and taking the appropriate remedy to avoid passing such predispositions
on to their children.

Influenzinum, made of the influenza virus, is widely used to prevent the flu.

Ethereal Remedies

Ethereal remedies are made by exposing a substance to magnetic and electric fields,
laser rays, X-rays, moon rays, and various colours of light. The substance, typically
milk sugar, is then used to prepare a homeopathic remedy.

For example, the remedy X-ray has been used to cure chronic fatigue and low
vitality.

Sleepwalking and epilepsy have been cured with the remedy Luna.

Bach Flower Remedies

Dr. Edward Bach (1886 - 1936) was an English physician and homeopath with a
successful practice on Harley Street, who developed the 38 Bach flower remedies for
the treatment of human illness. His view on disease is expressed below in an excerpt
taken from his treatise Heal Thyself:

"Disease will never be cured or eradicated by present materialistic methods, for the simple
reason that disease in its origin is not material . . . Disease is in essence the result of conflict
between the Soul and Mind and will never be eradicated except by spiritual and mental effort."

28
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Homeopathic remedies
Diagnosis and treatment is simple and can be carried out by anyone capable of
accurately perceiving emotional states in others. The remedies are subdivided into
seven headings:

1. For fear (5 remedies)


2. For uncertainty (6 remedies)
3. For insufficient interest in present circumstances (7 remedies)
4. For loneliness (3 remedies)
5. For oversensitivity to influences and ideas (4 remedies)
6. For despondency or despair (8 remedies)
7. For excessive care for the welfare of others (5 remedies)

To select the appropriate remedy for your patients, see the Bach Flower remedy
table in the Appendix of this book.

During his work as a physician, Dr. Bach noticed that people could be classified
according to their basic emotional nature. He also observed that people would become
ill when they did not adhere to their soul‘s purpose in life, which he considered quite
important. Dr. Bach began treating patients with some flower essences he had
prepared and found they gave good results.

At the age of 43, Dr. Bach left his successful practice and went off into the Welsh
countryside in search of a new healing technique. During spring and summer he would
find flowers which, by means of his psychic perception, he felt could cure a certain
emotional state, and subsequently develop flower essences from the morning dew on
such flowers. In winter he would write and treat patients without charge.

After continuing his search for flower remedies on the Norfolk coast, Dr. Bach
completed his work in Mount Vernon, Oxfordshire, where his home is still used today to
promote his work. He passed on at the age of 50, leaving a complete new form of
therapy behind.

Peter Chappel’s (PC) Remedies

As mentioned above under aids treatment, Peter Chappell is an English homeopath


and inventor with over thirty years extensive experience in the practice and teaching of
homeopathy. He has developed a method of making homeopathy-like remedies he
calls resonance healing remedies. For further information, see www.vitalremedies.com.

Homeopathic remedy potencies

Hahnemann experimented with more and more dilute doses of his remedies to avoid
aggravation of symptoms by toxic substances, and discovered that the remedies would
work in very small doses. But with dilution, of course, the effect of the remedies was
reduced. Surprisingly, he found that remedies used in house visits were more effective.
He deduced that the shaking effect of riding in a carriage, or on horseback added a
force to the remedies which made them more effective.

This led to the process of potentization, which is a sequence of dilutions


accompanied by the administration of force (dynamization) in the form of either violent
agitation (called sucussion) or grinding (called trituration).

Potentization is a process by which potencies are created from a mother tincture of


a substance that is to be made into a remedy. Mother tincture is a sample (such as a
drop of plant juice) of the remedy substance kept in a water-alcohol solution.

Hahnemann created the C potency scale and used potencies up to 30C.

At the end of his life while living in Paris, he also created the Q (Quinquaginta-
millessimal. Quinquaginta = 50, millessimal = 1000, so quinquaginta-millessimal =
50,000). The Q potencies are often called LM potencies, although LM in Roman
numerals is not 50 times 1000, but rather 950.

There is a slight difference in the way Q and LM potencies are prepared, but in
practice this is not considered important by most homeopaths.

Potency scale potencies are identified by numbers such as 30C.

The names of the potency scales are as follows:

 The C or Centesimal Scale – dilutions of 1:100

 The D (also called X) or Decimal Scale – dilutions of 1:10

 The Q (usually called LM) or Fifty Millesimal Scale – dilutions of 1:50000

The Centesimal Scale

The C-scale remedies are the ones mostly used by homeopaths. They act strongly on
the emotional and mental levels, but also on the physical level. In the treatment of
chronic illness it is usual to give only one pill once, and wait a month to gauge results.

This is the difficult part for many people new to homeopathy to believe. Some even
are offended after completing a two hour initial consultation with a classical homeopath
and at the end are only given one tiny pill to take there and then and told to return for a
follow-up consultation a month later. But what can I say? It works!! (As an aside to
smug placeboists, it also works on babies and animals…Go figure.)

Remedies in this scale are prepared as follows:

1. A clean bottle is taken and fitted with a new cork.

30
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Homeopathic remedies
2. The name of the remedy with the potency to be made is written on the cork and
the bottle, the first potency being 1C.
3. The cork is removed.
4. One drop of the previous potency of the remedy is placed in the bottle (for
making 1C, a drop of mother tincture is used).
5. Ninety-nine drops of a water-alcohol solution are poured into the bottle.
6. The bottle is corked lightly and held in the right hand with the thumb on the
cork.
7. The hand with bottle is then struck forcefully against the palm of the other hand
(or a thick book) 10 times.

The first time this is done, using mother tincture, a potency of 1C of the remedy is
produced. To prepare 2C, one drop of the 1C is used in step 4 above instead of the
mother tincture.

Thus, steps 1 to 7 are carried out for each succeeding potency, using one drop of
the previous potency.

When the desired potency is reached, the bottle with the remedy is stored in a dark
place. To prepare pills for use, a drop from the remedy bottle is dripped on a certain
number of pills, depending on their size, and absorbed by them. Such pills are then
given to patients to dissolve on the tongue.

Standard potencies on the C scale made by manufacturers are: 3C, 6C, 12C, 30C,
200C, 1000C (called 1M), 10M, 50M, CM, and MM, the latter being 1 million C. Certain
pharmacies, such as Helios in England, will tailor-make potencies to any value desired,
such as 250C, etc.

Hahnemann discovered how to make substances insoluble in alcohol, such as gold


and sand, into remedies. This process is called trituration. The method is to place a
small amount of, say gold, in a mortar containing a specified amount of milk sugar.

This mixture is then ground for half an hour with a pestle and the result is
considered as 1C. A part of this 1C powder is then placed in a new mortar containing
fresh milk sugar, and the procedure is repeated up to 3C.

To make 4C, a small part of the remedy powder is dissolved in 99 drops of water-
alcohol mixture as indicated in steps 1-7 above, succussed twice, and the remaining
potencies are made using the procedure for liquids.

Thus, any substance can be made into a homeopathic remedy and then proven
(tested) on healthy people to obtain a picture of its latent and hidden curative powers.
Many insoluble elements have been proven in this way and new cures for the diseases
of man added to the Materia Medica of homeopathy.

This scale is divided into low, medium and high potencies, the low ones being 30C
or less, the medium potency being 200C and high potencies being 1M or greater.

31
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Homeopathic remedies
In general practice, it has been found that lower potencies affect the physical level,
medium the emotional and high potencies the mental and spiritual levels. The medium
and high potency remedies are not taken very often, usually one each month, or less
frequently.

The Decimal Scale

The decimal scale is very similar to the centesimal, the main difference being that
instead of 99 drops of water-alcohol solution, only 9 drops are used. Decimal scale
remedies have a more physical effect than the C-scale remedies, and are mostly used
in low potencies.

The standard potencies available for the D scale are as follows: 1D, 2D, 3D, 6D and
12D. These are much lower than the potencies of the C scale.

It should be noted that this scale is also written as 1X, 2X, 3X, 6X and 12X.

This low-potency decimal scale is mostly used to treat symptoms on the physical
level.

The remedy is taken more often, usually each day.

The Fifty Millesimal Scale

The procedure here is somewhat different from that in the centesimal and decimal
scales. Here a dilution of 1:50,000 is used at each potency, using a 3C sample of the
remedy as the starting point.

The LM (or Q) remedies are very deep acting and have the advantage of curing with
very little aggravation of symptoms. They are taken more often, usually every day for
some months.

The LM scale runs as follows: LM1, LM2, LM3, …, LM30.

These are the main methods of preparing homeopathic remedies. Other methods
exist, some varying considerably from the above.

To indicate this, pharmacies append a letter to the potency designation, such as


30CH or 30CK, where in this case H stands for the Hahnemannian method described
above and K for the Korsakovian method (in which only one bottle is used during the
entire preparation).

Obviously 30CH is the same as 30C, and 30CK is considered slightly weaker than
30C.

The Argentinean KSM scale

The Argentinean pharmacy Godoy, located in Buenos Aires produces potencies they
call the KSM scale. These are made in the same way as the C potencies, the only
difference being that the number of succussions used is 1000—by hand. Hahnemann
said a remedy should be succussed by hand, in each case by one person.

My experience with these remedies is that they are very powerful.

32

These potencies range from KSM 6 to 30. You will find the address of this pharmacy
at the end of this book.

The pharmacy is a family-run operation and has been in business for more than fifty
years. It is currently managed by pharmacist Nestor Godoy.

How to take homeopathic remedies

Precautions on taking a homeopathic remedy

Prior to ingesting a homeopathic remedy there should be no aftertaste in your mouth as


this can antidote the remedy. Fifteen minutes to half an hour before or after eating,
drinking, brushing teeth, or smoking is a suitable time.

Remedies should not be taken in a room with odours such as from burning incense.

Therefore, when taking a remedy a patient should not be wearing any fragrant
lipstick, perfume or fragrant oil.

Remember that there should be an interval of at least 15 minutes before and after
taking a remedy during which nothing but water is ingested.

It is useful to note down your reactions to a remedy. This applies both to mental,
emotional and physical reactions either for better or worse.

Such reactions will be very valuable to your homeopath for determining your
treatment.

How to take pills and powders

Pills and powders are taken on or under the tongue, and dissolved as if they were
candy. No water is taken with pills or powders.

You should avoid touching the remedy as this can destroy it. If you are taking pills
from a small flask or container, place a pill in the cap and let it drop onto the tongue.

If you are taking pills from a flask or other container and you see that there are none
left, you can take a sniff, which will almost be equivalent to taking a pill.

If you have some unmedicated pills (you can buy such pills, called sac lac, from a
homeopathic supplier), you can place some in the empty remedy container and they
will absorb the energy of the remedy which the container is imbued with. That way you
will have the remedy available in a pinch while you await delivery of a new supply of
the remedy.

By the way, once you have used a container, such as a flask, for a remedy you will
have to keep it for that remedy as placing another remedy in the flask after it is empty
will cause unpredictable effects, possibly destroying the effect of the new remedy, and
in any case resulting in a mixed remedy with unproven effects.

To remove the vibration of a homeopathic remedy from a flask it needs to be boiled


for about one and a half hours. Then you can reuse the remedy flask with another
remedy.

How to take liquid remedies

34

Homeopathic remedies
Liquid remedies are dripped onto the tongue via a dropper or teaspoon. The usual
precautions regarding odours and absence of taste on the tongue given
above apply.

How to apply creams

There are creams made of such remedies as Arnica, Calendula and


Hypericum for external application on the skin. (Don‘t apply Arnica cream to
open sores as it may cause infection.) These are applied as you would a
normal cream.

If you don‘t have the cream you need, but have the homeopathic remedy concerned
in some form, you can dissolve pills or powders in water and apply the resulting liquid
directly to the skin, or by using a cloth or other medium wetted with the solution.

Taking LM (Q) potencies (chronic patients)

Each time you take the LM remedy, remember to strike a book with the flask in
your hand 10 times before you take it.

1. The first day, drip one drop of the remedy on your tongue. (If one drop seems too
strong, you can drip it into a glass of water and take a sip.)
2. If there is no reaction the first day, take two drops the next day.
3. If nothing happens the next day, take four drops (double the previous dose).
4. Continue doubling day by day until you notice a reaction.
5. When you notice a reaction, stop taking the remedy until the reaction has
subsided.
6. Thereafter continue with half of the reaction dose as maintenance dosage. (If the
reaction dose was 16 drops, continue with 8 drops.)
7. Mark the flask each time you take the LM remedy. After marking the bottle 10
times, the remedy will be "used up." You will need the next LM (Q) potency.
Contact your homeopath again.
The remedy should be stored away from sunlight, odours, magnetic fields and high
temperatures.

Pills are melted on the tongue. Liquids remedies are dripped on the tongue.

If no change is noted within an hour or less, the remedy is probably incorrect and
another should be tried.

If a change is noted for better or worse, wait until the change has passed. If you feel
better, don‘t take any more until you have a relapse. If no total change is noted, try
another remedy.

Taking Bach Flower remedies

Bach Flower remedies are delivered in 10 ml stock bottles, which are


inexpensive and easily procured in the Western world. You can check

35
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Homeopathic remedies
the internet for your nearest supplier, or any of the pharmacies listed in the back of this
book.

A convenient way to take Bach Flower remedies is to use a 30 ml dropper bottle as


a dispenser to which you add 20% brandy (cognac or whisky) as a preservative, two
drops from each stock bottle you are using, and then top up with mineral water.

In contradistinction to classical homeopathy, Bach Flower remedies can be mixed.


You could add as many as five remedies to a 30 ml dispenser bottle.

From the dropper bottle the patient then drips about 5 drops on the tongue at least
four times per day. This can go on for months, depending on the patient. Usually the
patient will know when it is time to stop taking the remedy.

For rapid use, you can add two drops of a stock bottle to any liquid, such as fruit
juice, water or any other beverage and then take sips from the liquid container as
needed.

My experience is that Bach Flower remedies are great for kids and adolescents,
where strong homeopathic remedies may not be needed. With adult patients, I prefer to
tackle severe mental, emotional physical conditions with homeopathic remedies first,
but this is not a fast rule. Then follow up with Bach Flower remedies for long-term
stability.

Bach Flower remedies are also used successfully on pets and animals in general,
and also on plants.

This is my opinion, so the experience of others can differ widely. A friend of mine, an
Argentinean psychiatrist and homeopath told me he used these remedies with great
success on psychiatric patients while he was head of a sanatorium in Argentina. He
wrote a book in Spanish about his experiences.

A table summary of Bach Flower remedies is given in the back of this book under
Remedy Kits.

Taking Peter Chappell’s liquid PC acute remedies

 Strike the bottle vigorously in your hand on a hard wooden surface 5 times to
activate and then immediately put 5 drops into a teaspoon and then into the
mouth.

 The remedy is kept in the mouth, under the tongue, for at least 5 seconds
before swallowing.

 The patient should not eat or drink 15 minutes just before and after taking the
remedy.

 The remedy should be kept indoors in a cool place, such as a refrigerator, away
from extreme heat and direct sunlight.

Homeopathic remedies
Burn, acute injury, trauma, infectious illness, shock etc.

Repeat hourly, or more frequently or as the patient needs it. In flu-like acute
illnesses, in acute shock trauma, the remedy should be taken every 5 to 15 minutes.
Ease off as the patient gets better.

Repeat the acute remedy more time seems needed for full recovery. Give a few
doses after recovery to be sure.

Taking Peter Chappell’s MP3 remedies

In an acute illness or urgent problem, listen continuously to a Peter Chappell MP3


remedy until relief is felt, and then listen every 15 minutes and slowly phase it out until
the patient is better. The problem could be a toothache or a sudden shock.

When it seems to be working, use it less often as the patient gets better.

In a simple long-term problem like falling hair or an ongoing disease like arthritis,
listen once a day. If once a day does not seem to be enough, then more often. For
example, if the pain vanishes for a few hours in arthritis, repeat as needed.

With a long-term problem that the patient has had for many years, he or she should
listen once daily and evaluate every few days. Providing it is slowly improving, just
continue. It might get better very quickly in which case the remedy should be stopped
and repeated later, if necessary.

After a month, there should be signs of improvement. If so, the remedy is continued
until the patient is completely improved. If improvement levels off at some point
perhaps complementary therapy is needed for further progress. This could be engaging
a homeopath, acupuncturist, natural health specialist, craniosacral therapist,
reflexologist, or a regular exercise program such as yoga, or simply more exercise.

With a long-term trauma, listening once a day may be enough. Repeat until it is
resolved, a month should be the maximum. If the trauma is causing disturbing dreams,
stop when they cease to appear.

A patient may stop and start listening again whenever desired. One cannot become
immune or resistant to these resonances, so there is no problem if one forgets to take it
or a break is taken. The resonances are not addictive.

The music is not the healing remedy, it only carries it. The music alerts the patient
when to listen. However poor the quality of the music reproduction, the resonance can
still work fine.

These resonances are like specific tonics to facilitate self healing. This is not the
same as medical treatment and it is not a medical treatment as normally understood.

Homeopathic remedies

How to choose the potency of a homeopathic remedy

Basically, any potency will have an effect. In acute situations, whatever you have
available will serve. In general the higher potencies (from 200C and upwards) tend to
act longer, more powerfully and more deeply.

With a severe injury, such as an accident, higher potencies are better.

Here are some guidelines you can follow in choosing a potency:

1. If the case is clear, 200C or higher can be used.


2. If the patient is an older person with a weak vital force, take care in prescribing
potencies higher than 30C, although 200C or more may be useful.
3. If the case is not clear, but there is no deep pathology, use a low potency, 30C or
less.
4. If the case in unclear and there is physical pathology, use 12C and less.
5. While a patient is getting better, a remedy should not be repeated. This is very
important as repeating may block any further progress.
6. If the patient was getting better with a remedy and then relapses, repeat the
remedy, possibly in a higher potency. The patient should now remain better for a
longer period than after the first time. If not, look for a better remedy.
Remember that high potencies (200C and above) act on deeper levels while low
potencies (30C and below) act more on the physical level.

These are not fixed rules, just guidelines, as potency is an issue that has not been
fully resolved yet.

It has been found by experience that there might be a potency simillimum—such as


10M, or 12.5M—for any given situation. This is something to keep in mind.

General procedure for treating an acute illness

Pills

1. The general procedure for treating an acute illness is to give the patient the most
indicated remedy and potency (usually 30C or 200C) once to dissolve on or under
the tongue, making sure that the pill is not touched by anyone.
(Take care not to expose the pills to any strong smells such as perfume in the room or incense as this
can destroy the subtle energy contained in the pill.)

2. Wait an hour or so to see if there is an improvement (remember that an initial


aggravation is considered an improvement so long as it is followed by an
amelioration and more energy).
(This is a delicate point where many beginning homeopaths fail, giving in to the wails, pleadings,
accusations and threats from the patient—especially from relatives or loved ones—and prescribe
another remedy instead of giving the aggravation time to subside, followed by great improvement in
the patient. Don‘t be a wimp, stand your ground.)

38
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Homeopathic remedies
3. If there is little or no result, look for another remedy that fits the causation and the
symptom picture—especially strange or very prominent symptoms—returning to
step 1 above. Otherwise continue with the next step.
4. If there is improvement, let it run until any tendency to relapse appears.
5. If there is a relapse, repeat the same remedy in the same potency (preferred) or a
higher potency. Continue with step 2 above.
6. If the initial symptoms are gone and your patient feels better, but now there are new
symptoms, look for a remedy that fits the new picture and continue from point 1
above, otherwise allow the patient improve until well again.

Liquid remedies

Follow the same procedure as for Pills above, but using drops from the remedy bottle
instead of pills.

Plussing

The following method called plussing is often used:

1. Dissolve one or two pills of the selected remedy in water in a glass or plastic
cup and leave it near the patient.
(Use a glass that will not be used by others for drinking purposes as the remedy vibration will
remain in the glass itself, so that every person who drinks from the glass in the future will be
getting a dose of the remedy. This is why a disposable plastic cup is preferable.)

2. Stir the liquid remedy a few times with a spoon or other implement (this is called
plussing the remedy as it raises the potency a bit).
3. Tell the patient to stir the glass a few times each time before taking a teaspoon
of the remedy. It should be taken at a given interval (such as every 15 min, half
hour or hour, depending on the intensity of the illness) for an hour or two, but
the patient should stop if there is a reaction for better or worse, and wait until
the reaction fades away.
4. Follow the instructions in the steps given under Pills above.

After having treated a few patients you will get the hang of it. Some patients need
more remedy repetition, some less.

How to repeat homeopathic remedies

In repeating a homeopathic remedy, the indications given below are general and
should be adapted to the individual case.

There is often an aggravation after giving a remedy. This usually shows that it is
working. The rule is to wait until the aggravation has faded away. Then if the patient
feels better afterwards and appears to have more energy, the remedy is correct and
you can continue to use it until the patient is well.

Otherwise, if the patient feels worse and has less energy, you should find another
more suitable remedy.

39
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Homeopathic remedies
Acute Cases
Repetition in acute cases depends on the severity and type of trauma. If the trauma is
severe, then high potencies can be repeated as often as every 10 minutes or less, for
example in cases of giving Arnica for severe trauma due to an automobile accident.

In acute cases of medium intensity, such as an oncoming flu, the interval between
repetitions is normally a few hours.

Repetition should be governed by changes observed within a short time. On seeing


improvement you can continue with the same remedy, but only after improvement
slows down or relapses. If there is no improvement after a few repetitions you should
consider changing remedies.

If you find the right remedy for an acute case, you can expect very rapid results,
within seconds or minutes, but certainly at most within a few hours. If there is no rapid
improvement, change the remedy.

Chronic Cases
As you will not be treating chronic cases, the following is given as information to
compare with the acute situation.

In chronic cases, pills in potencies of 200C and above are most often given just
once. The general rule here is to wait one month before checking what the remedy has
accomplished before repeating it or prescribing another.

At times low potencies may be given more frequently, such as 30C once or twice a
week, or 12C or lower daily. This is especially applicable to patients such as the elderly
who have a weak vital force.

LM remedies are usually taken daily and plussed (solution stirred or flask struck
against a book to slightly raise the potency) each time.

Whether you are dealing with an acute or chronic case, in all situations you must
wait with repeating a remedy after a change (aggravation or improvement) has
occurred in the patient. This will give the vital force time to respond to the remedy and
deal with the illness.

How to store homeopathic remedies

Homeopathic remedies should be stored in a dark place away from magnetic and
electric fields and strong odours.

Strong sunlight can neutralize remedies. As remedies often come in amber-coloured


bottles, this problem is reduced, but it is a good idea to keep them in a dark place
anyway.

Placing remedies on top of a loudspeaker or near a PC or any other electrical device


can neutralize them. A distance of one meter from electrical devices should be quite
sufficient to leave them unaffected.

If these instructions are followed, remedies will keep forever. Nevertheless,


pharmacies print expiry dates on homeopathic remedies. This is a foolish practice and

40
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Homeopathic remedies
is to be ignored. It is a result of having to comply with legislation regarding normal
medicines, the effects of which are based on chemicals that deteriorate.

This is not the case with homeopathic remedies as there are no chemicals in them,
only energy and information for the vital force.

Homeopathic remedy pills found in an old house that were judged to be about 200
years old worked just fine.

It should be noted that remedies exposed to airport X-ray security check equipment
when you are travelling will lose about 1% of their strength each time.

The recently invented unhealthy practice of using invasive full-body scanners at


airports and other locations should be avoided by humans and remedies at all cost as
the radiation emitted may cause cancer in the former and neutralize the latter.

Antidoting of homeopathic remedies

The natural healing process that remedies stimulate will proceed without interruption
despite many obstacles, but this depends on the susceptibility and amount of vital force
of the patient.

However, after a remedy has been taken it may be antidoted and cease to work.

The following are a number of possible causes of antidoting:

1. Caffeine. Especially in coffee (tea, chocolate, cocoa are less of a problem). Coffee
can antidote a remedy, however this depends on the vital force and sensitivity to
caffeine of the patient and how well the remedy fits the problem being treated, so
should be judged individually.
2. Camphor and menthol. Camphor and menthol are often an ingredient in muscle
sprain ointments (e.g. Vicks, Vapour Rub, Tiger Balm), stimulating oils and
inhalants, lip balms, lipstick, cough and throat lozenges. Patients should be asked
to read the labels of such items and refrain from using products with camphor and
menthol during treatment.
3. Pharmaceutical medication. Any medications, such as antibiotics, that are used
to treat local symptoms and suppress the body's natural defence reactions should
be avoided. Steroid hormones such as cortisone taken orally or used on skin
rashes are prime examples of this. Antibiotics are valuable in life-threatening
situations, but should not be prescribed routinely for trivial reasons, as is often done
by doctors.
4. Dental work. Dental drilling and filling, with or without, anaesthetics, often antidotes
a remedy. However, in chronic cases the process stimulated by the remedy may
start working again by itself after a couple of weeks. Teeth cleaning and routine
checks are not a problem so long as no chemicals are used.
5. Therapeutic antidoting. This becomes necessary if a hypersensitive patient reacts
too strongly to a homeopathic remedy. Specific antidotes for remedies are listed in
materia medica such as Clarke's or Murphy's. Otherwise inhalation of camphor or

41
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Homeopathic remedies
application of a camphor ointment, drinking strong coffee or ingesting products with
menthol may be resorted to.
6. Airport full-body scanners. These should be avoided as they emit far higher
radiation levels than stated by the manufacturer—who will not allow independent
scientists to check the devices. Such scanners can give you cancer (many doctors
have already refused exposure to such scanners for this very reason), and are
certain to harm remedies passed through them.
If a remedy is antidoted, the same potency is given again.

Recycling of used remedy bottles

To reuse a remedy bottle for another remedy, it must be exposed to 150 degrees
Celsius for about an hour. For convenience, accumulate a number of such bottles for
heating in an oven.

Bottles can also be boiled for an hour and a half.

Remember that if you use a normal kitchen glass in which to dissolve a remedy, the
glass will thereafter give a dose of the remedy to anyone who drinks from it until the
glass has been subjected to high temperature as noted above.

The vibrations of homeopathic remedies are quite powerful, affecting any container
they are placed in.

Treating pets and other animals

CHAPTER 2 - TREATING PETS AND OTHER ANIMALS


“Animals are our younger brothers.”
Ancient wisdom

Typical problems of domestic pets include: injuries, wounds, bites, fear, jealousy,
sadness, fright, colds, and flu.

Both dogs and cats suffer from injuries and wounds, at times from shock and often
from bites and stings, as well as eye, ear, gum and teeth problems. They are also
afflicted by anxiety, fear and aggression and can suffer from diarrhoea and
constipation.

Other pets can also be treated with homeopathic remedies, including birds,
hamsters, rabbits, snakes, etc.

For the treatment of cattle and horses there exists extensive experience
accumulated since the dawn of homeopathy.

The procedure is similar to the one given in Pills above, but the method of
administration is slightly different.

It is necessary to keep your animal patient without food or drink (except water) at
least 15 minutes (preferably 30 minutes) before and after administering a remedy.

I have included some book references in the appendix for those who wish to learn
more about the interesting subject of veterinary homeopathy.

Dogs

Administering remedies to dogs

There are several methods for administering remedies to dogs:

1. Tipping the tablet directly on to the tongue. A single (vet) dose granule preparation
can be used as an alternative.
(Ensure that the dog has not eaten, or drunk anything besides water, within at least 15 minutes before
administering the pill and does not eat for at least 15 minutes after. This also applies to the steps
below.)

2. Liquid remedies administered directly to the inside of the lower lip.


3. Liquid or solid form remedies added to the dog‘s drinking bowl.
(Let the drinking bowl remain as it is for a while, even the entire day, to make sure the remedy has
been ingested.)

4. Use of a plastic syringe to inject the remedy dissolved in water onto the tongue.
(The plastic syringe should only be used for the same remedy (any potency) as the vibration of the
remedy will remain in it permanently.)

How to treat dogs

When treating a dog give a sufficient number of doses of the remedy chosen until the
dog reacts. If there is a relapse, consider the procedure given under Pills above. After a

43
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Treating pets and other animals
while you will become familiar with how this works for your dog and other dogs you
may treat. You‘ll get the hang of it.

You should know that homeopathy is extremely useful in treatment of animal


behavioural disorders. This applies to states of aggression, anxiety, fear, jealousy,
grief, nervousness, suspicion, and the emotional and mental effects of abuse. You will
find more information regarding this subject in the vet books listed in the bibliography.

For specific fears, such as of cars after being struck by one, the homeopathic
remedy Aconite (1M or 200C) has proven extremely useful. Give one dose, possibly
repeating once or twice. This remedy can also apply to humans who are afraid of dogs.
If it does not work on the human, the condition may require a nosode administered by a
professional homeopath.

Prevention

You should also be aware of the existence of nosodes for the prevention and treatment
of epidemic type illnesses in dogs, such as parvovirus disease (affects gastrointestinal
tract, mostly in puppies), distemper (a virus that suppresses the immune system),
leptospirosis (bacterium that affects the liver and spleen), hepatitis, tetanus and kennel
cough (inflammation of upper respiratory system, with cough).

Give the nosode (30C or 200C) once a week while the danger persists. If a dog is
afflicted with the corresponding disease give the nosode more often, such as once a
day, but no longer than a week.

A general guide for prevention in puppies (homeopathic immunization) is to give the


nosode (200C or 1M) twice daily for a few days followed by monthly doses for up to six
months of age, and then repeating the nosode during one day every six months.

For prevention, you could also employ the triple dose method used by Isaac Golden
in the homeopathic immunization of people, where 200C, 1M and 10M are given on
one day approximately six hours apart. You may have to order these potencies from a
pharmacy as often only 30C is sold.

You can also use the corresponding nosode (30C or 200C) to treat dogs who have
been affected permanently earlier in their life by one of these diseases. It will clean
them up, so to speak, of the ill effects. If some other disease appears, homeopathic
pharmacies will make a nosode for you. Helios in the UK is very good at this and
delivers rapidly.

The homeopathic remedy Thuja 200C is an excellent clearing agent for ill effects in
dogs, or any animal including humans, after vaccinations, whether the damage
occurred years ago or yesterday. In fact, it is a good idea to give it after any
vaccination, as future illnesses in the dog will most likely not be attributed to the
vaccination.

Treating pets and other animals

Treatment examples

Case 1

A six year old Labrador suffered each Monday from itching. This had been going on for
two years. The homeopath thought that the symptoms indicated the remedy Sulphur
but the oddity of the situation led to further questioning of the owner. It turned out that
he always mowed the lawn on Sundays and the dog would sit on the freshly mown
grass. A homeopathic remedy was prepared from the mown grass (see How to make
homeopathic remedies for special purposes to learn how this is done), and given to the
dog on a Sunday. After this the dog had no further problems.

Case 2

A six and a half year old male Gordon Setter with a nervous disposition had developed
epileptic fits over a period of some months. It was noticed that these fits usually
occurred when a member of the family was away. The homeopath prescribed Ignatia
30C twice a day for a week. Two months later no epileptic fits had occurred, but the
dog was often seen biting his feet, apparently an old habit. Ignatia 200C was
prescribed, later followed by Ignatia 10M, and no epileptic fits occurred again.

Case 3

A two-year old Collie cow dog who had lost its sight was brought to a homeopathic
veterinarian. The owner related this problem to a head injury the Collie had received
about a year before. He said the dog‘s vision had gradually deteriorated ever since and
lamented the loss of a working dog. The Collie was sent to an eye specialist who found
no visual defect. The remedy Arnica 200C was prescribed once weekly. After one
month the dog was back at work and no relapse occurred since.

Cats

Administering remedies to cats

In administering remedies to cats, follow the same procedures as for dogs above.
However, it may be difficult to open the mouth of cats, or it may be a wild cat (feral), in
which case adding the remedy to the water bowl is the most convenient. Otherwise you
can wind up with bites and scratches to treat on yourself (use Ledum for bites followed
by Calendula cream, and the latter for scratches).

How to treat cats

The instructions given for dogs apply to treating cats. Repeat the remedy until you
obtain a response.

The treatment of emotional states also applies to cats. The homeopathic remedy
Hyoscyamus (1M or 200C) is especially useful in treating jealous reactions to new
animals introduced into a cat‘s environment. For cats and wild cats in a state of terror,
Stramonium (1M or 200C) has proven extremely useful. Give it once, possibly
repeating once. If it does not work, another homeopathic remedy should be found.

45
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Treating pets and other animals
Prevention

You should also be aware of the existence of nosodes for the prevention and treatment
of epidemic type illnesses in cats, such as feline enteritis, cat flu, feline infectious
anaemia, feline infectious peritonitis, feline leukaemia, and salmanellosis.

Give the corresponding nosode (30C or 200C) once a week while the danger
persists. If a cat is afflicted with the disease give the nosode more often, such as once
a day, but no longer than a week.

A general guide for prevention in kittens (homeopathic immunization) is to give the


nosode (200C or 1M) twice daily for a few days followed by monthly doses for up to six
months of age, and then by repeating the nosode during one day every six months.

For prevention, you could also give the triple dose method used by Isaac Golden in
the homeopathic immunization of people, where 200C, 1M and 10M (or 3 times 1M)
are given on one day, approximately six hours apart. You may have to order these
potencies from a pharmacy as often only 30C is sold.

You can also use the corresponding nosode (30C or 200C) to treat cats who have
been affected permanently earlier in their life by one of these diseases. It will clean
them up, so to speak, of the ill effects. If some other disease appears, homeopathic
pharmacies will make a nosode for you. Helios in the UK is very good at this and
delivers rapidly.

The homeopathic remedy Thuja 200C is an excellent clearing agent for ill effects in
cats, or any animal, that have appeared after vaccination, whether the damage
occurred years ago or yesterday. In fact, it is a good idea to give it after any
vaccination, as future illnesses in the cat will most likely not be attributed to the
vaccination. (For example, multiple sclerosis (MS) in humans has been connected to
the smallpox vaccine, but MS only appears about 15 years after the vaccination, and
would thus normally be attributed to the winds of fate.)

Treatment examples

Case 1

A cat suffered a car accident some months before being brought to a homeopath.
According to the owner the cat had changed character after the incident with the car.
The cat was originally calm and reassured, now he was very depressed, avoiding
company and no longer jumping up on furniture. Previously the cat enjoyed being
stroked, but now he would lash out when stroked. On damp days he had developed
asthmatic breathing on cold, damp days. The cat was prescribed Hypericum 200C
once a week, which brought the cat back to his normal state after a month.

Case 2

An eighteen month old female cat was brought in emergency to a homeopathic vet
after a road accident. The cat was collapsed and breathing poorly, was pale with legs
apparently paralyzed. The pelvis seemed broken. Instead of putting her down, the cat
was given Arnica 30C every 15 minutes. In a few hours the cat was making good

46

Treating pets and other animals
efforts to walk. X-rays showed a dislocated hip and multiple fractures of the pelvis. The
cat was strong enough for anaesthesia and the hip was replaced. After three weeks of
cage rest and the occasional Arnica 30C it was fully recovered.

Case 3

An eight year old male neutered cat had received a bite on its right foot. The infection
had travelled up the leg to the elbow and the cat was very sick with a temperature and
much pain. The cat was given Hepar Sulphuris 30C four times a day and after two days
it was fit again with a slightly sore leg. All symptoms were gone by the end of the week.

Horses

Ways of administering remedies to horses

1. In administering remedies to horses, drop the necessary quantity in a small amount


of flour and place it on the horse‘s tongue with a plastic spatula. This also applies to
cattle and other farm animals.
2. Mix the remedy with a tablespoon of cold water and pour it into the horse‘s mouth
from a new vial.
3. Mix the remedy with a tablespoon of cold water and spray it into the horse‘s mouth
with a plastic syringe.

How to treat horses

When treating a horse give a sufficient number of doses of the selected remedy until
the horse reacts. If there is a relapse, consider the procedure given under Pills above.
After a while you will become familiar with how this works.

When using low potency remedies (6C or 12C; D potencies can also be used)
repeat the dose as follows:

1. In intense acute diseases six drops every 5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes.


2. In less intense acute diseases six drops every 2, 4, 6 or 8 hours.
3. In more chronic diseases six drops once a day.

In acute diseases no food should be given until the horse has improved, after which
food is given sparingly. The most suitable foods are bran (dry or wet), oats (raw and
crushed or whole and boiled, possibly mixed with bran), hay (sweet and free from

Prevention

You should also be aware of the existence of nosodes for the prevention and treatment
of illnesses in horses, such as mallenders (leg dermatitis), strangles (upper respiratory
tract infection), sweet itch (skin sores caused by bites of the Culicoides midge).

Give the nosode (30C or 200C) once a week while the danger persists. If a horse is
afflicted with the corresponding disease give the nosode more often, such as once a
day, but no longer than a week.

Treatment examples

Case 1

A 20 year old Shetland pony was suffering from arthritis that could not be controlled
with pain-relieving drugs. The arthritis was worse on cold, damp days and when the
pony was on hard ground. The horse appeared better for some exercise, but would
suffer the next day. The remedy Rhus tox 1M given every third day made it possible for
the pony to lead an almost normal life.

Case 2

A Connemara cross mare suffered from recurring sweet-itch (skin allergy caused by
the bites of midges). The remedy Arsenicum Album was used with some success, but
did not cure the condition. An unusual symptom was that the complaint was worse by
the sea. Another was that the front of the shoulders was affected. The remedy Natrum
Arsenicum, which has both of these unusual symptoms listed in the Materia Medica,
cured the condition permanently. (Coming across unusual or prominent symptoms can
be extremely useful in finding the correct remedy. The famous homeopath James Tyler
Kent said that the ability to discover such symptoms marked the difference between a
highly successful and a mediocre homeopath.)

Case 3

A horse, who was kept in a cold, badly ventilated stable with insufficient light, was
suffering from acute eye inflammation. On being led from the stable the horse had
partially closed eyelids. The tearful eyes were swollen and inflamed on the inside and
the whites of the eyes injected with blood. The horse was given six drops of Aconite 6C
every three hours and the condition was greatly improved the next day.

Treatment of other animals

Similar procedures and methods as given above can be applied to any other animals,
such as cattle, sheep, pigs, fowl, etc.

Considerable literature exists on these subjects, some of which is included in the


Bibliography at the back of the book.

Aconitum Napellus (acon)

Usual name: Aconite Popular name: Monkshood

Body part affinity: Mental/emotional state: Restless, excited, anxious, fearful.


Parts of brain that resonate with
anxiety, fright and shock. Peculiar symptom: The sudden appearance of symptoms.

Important remedy for: Usual causes:


 Nipping colds in the bud. Given in the early stages of  Exposure to a wind, especially a cold, dry wind
colds, fevers and inflammations (use 200C).  A shock or (death) fright
 Intense fear of specific animals or situations (use 1M)  Exposure to air-conditioning

Flu symptoms:
The patient says that the complaint came on suddenly. Often the skin will be dry and hot. The patient may be very thirsty for
cold drinks. He or she may say that everything tastes bitter except for water. The patient can be extremely restless and
fearful and may fear that he or she is dying, although there is no reason to believe this.

Treatment:
Give 200C as soon as an oncoming cold is detected (e.g. sore throat, feeling worse from a cold wind, or air conditioning). This
will usually prevent further development of the cold within some hours. If not, repeat 200C and wait again. Then if there is no
improvement, look for another remedy that fits the symptoms (possibly Belladonna or Nux vomica).

Fear symptoms:
The patient (also animal patients) has an intense fear of a certain thing: an animal such as a dog or cat, or an event which
could be anything: a dark street, a noisy car passing, whatever. You will find that something similar happened in the patient‘s
past which he or she remembers, or it could be that it happened to the patient‘s mother while pregnant with the patient, or in a
past life.

Treatment:
Give the patient Acon 1M once. That means only one pill on the tongue taken one time. No more pills later or tomorrow. This is
very important as otherwise you can blow away any chances of a cure. Then wait some weeks to see how it goes. If there is no
improvement, you‘ll need to find another remedy that fits the symptom picture (possibly Stramonium).

Worse (<): Better (>):


 from cold winds (dry)  fresh air
 in the evening  rest
 in warm rooms  sitting quietly
 from tobacco smoke  perspiring

The mother tincture is made from the whole plant when beginning to flower, including the root.

Arnica Montana (arn)

Usual name: Arnica Popular name: Leopard’s Bane

Body part affinity: Mental/emotional state: Fear of being approached,


touched or injured.
Any injured body parts.
Peculiar symptom: Say they are ok, but obviously they
are not.

The main remedy for: Usual causes:


 Accidents, shock, exhaustion  Injury
 After childbirth  Fall
 After operations  Accident
 Grief, remorse, financial loss  Shock

Symptoms:

Aversion to being touched due to pain from the slightest touch. The patient may say that he or she is ok, when obviously this is
not the case. The bed the patient is lying on may feel too hard. The upper body may be hot while the lower body is cold.

Treatment:
Give it first after an injury. It will reduce bruising, swelling, pain and promote rapid healing.
After a serious accident, for example a car crash, give Arnica 1M or 10M repeatedly (at 5, 15, 30 minute intervals) until the
patient seems to have improved.
After operations, Arnica 200C or 1M once a day for several days will greatly speed up recovery.
After dental work, one or several Arnica 200C will do wonders to remove pain and discomfort.
After a boxing match, sports injury, fall, repeated Arnica 1M or 10M followed by 200C as deemed necessary will do wonders.
Sports practitioners should have a supply of Arnica 30C, 200C and 1M with them at all times. When they don‘t need it, their
friends will.

Arnica cream is marvellous in helping cure body surface pain after having received blows (after a boxing match, for example),
so long as the skin is not broken. Smear it on several times a day if needed. All households should have an ample supply of
Arnica cream. Following the instructions in this book you can make it yourself.

Persistent diarrhoea from bad food, especially meat, with much vomiting. Burning pains and discharges, but feels chilly.

Treatment:
With diarrhoea and vomiting due to food poisoning (from eating bad eggs, or meat, or drinking polluted water, etc.) give
Arsenicum 200C once, wait an hour or so to see if there is an improvement (remember that an initial aggravation is considered
an improvement so long as it is followed by amelioration, and this is a point where many would-be homeopaths fail, succumbing
to the heart-rending, pitiful wails, accusations or threats of the patient, or loved ones, and changing to another remedy instead
of giving the aggravation time to subside followed by great improvement in the patient). To avoid excessive dehydration make
sure the patient is given water to drink.

If no result, look for another remedy that fits the cause and the picture (nux-v, urt-u). If there is improvement, let it run until any
tendency to relapse appears. You could leave a glass containing one or two pills of Arsenicum 200C (or 30C) you have

CHAPTER 4 - YOUR PATIENTS


”Different strokes for different folks.”
popular saying

Types of patients

According to the renowned Greek homeopath George Vithoulkas, patients are


classified into four main health levels: A, B C and D.

Group A

Quite healthy people (they may have some functional disturbances) who contract
relatively few acute illnesses (typically bacterial infections and childhood diseases) and
who respond quickly to homeopathic remedies. Their symptoms are clear and the
correct homeopathic remedy for their illness is easily seen.

Group B

These people suffer from more frequent and severe acute conditions, such as
pneumonia. Their bacterial infections are more resistant to antibiotics. After using more
and more chemical drugs their level of health goes down and they become more
susceptible to acute problems.

Group C

People in this group suffer from severe chronic degenerative diseases, such as
ulcerative colitis. Curiously enough, they suffer from fewer acute illnesses, which are
less severe and go away easily. Those at the lower end of this group have no acute
illnesses, such as the flu.

Group D

People in this group do not contract acute infections at all. They have the most severe
chronic diseases of the immune and central nervous systems. With homeopathic
treatment their health level may rise and an acute illness appear, but such should only
be treated by a professional homeopath. Care should be taken with such patients and
only low potencies given for palliative purposes.

Patients to avoid

1. Patients who have been taking corticosteroids or ACTH for years.


2. Patients on strong allopathic drugs for long periods of time.
3. Deeply psychotic, violent or suicidal schizophrenics on major tranquilizers.
4. Epileptics on strong allopathic medication.
5. Group C and D patients. They should be sent to a professional homeopath.

90
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Your patients

Elderly patients

Care must be taken with elderly patients as their life force can be much weaker than
that of younger people. It is a good policy to use lower potencies when treating such
patients, although there are exceptions to this.

For example, when an elderly person is about to pass over to the other side, the
remedy Arsenicum 1M or 10M can greatly alleviate any fears and smooth the process.
You can, of course, assure relatives that there remain no molecules of arsenic in such
remedies.

The chance of this happening was already absent at the potency of 12C, which any
competent high-school student of chemistry can tell you. At 12C the original drop of
arsenic has been diluted in a volume of water/alcohol as large as a thousand million
cubic kilometres (based on a number with 24 zeros). Now you know why orthodox
medical doctors who are ignorant of homeopathy joke that the homeopathic patient
died of an overdose because he forgot to take his remedy—which is actually rather
funny.

Orthodox medical doctors believe that in order to be effective medicines must


contain a chemical substance that will counteract a symptom or group of symptoms.
Thus you can understand their disbelief in homeopathy.

Babies

With babies, lower potencies are also a good policy as their vital force is so strong that
they do not require much stimulus to heal themselves, but this is not a fixed rule.

Incidentally, this also applies to people who have lived a rustic life, peasants in
remote areas who have not been polluted with vaccinations, processed foods, air
pollution and pharmaceutical drugs. If such a person should become ill, a lower
potency will often cure a chronic condition very rapidly.

Again here, the salient point is a high level of vitality and a powerful immune system.

Keeping records

Besides personal data such as name, age and so on, you should note the complaint
treated with its modalities (what makes the condition better or worse), the remedy
given, and the results obtained.

It is a good idea to check and note down what pharmaceutical medicines your
patient is currently taking as they can reduce or nullify the effects of homeopathic
remedies.

Also note whether the patient felt more energetic, more in harmony with
himself/herself, whether symptoms moved downwards in the body, or from the inside of
the body outwards. These are typical indicators of a curative remedy.

Bites and stings

Animal bites (non-venomous)

Here we are talking about bites from domestic and wild mammals such as humans,
dogs, cats, foxes, skunks, bats and any other mammal. Crocodiles, alligators and other
reptiles are included.

The following procedure is useful:

1. Give Arnica 200C. Repeat if needed.


2. Clean the wound with soap and water, then a mild antiseptic such as Triple Rose
Water3 or vinegar and control any bleeding.
3. Wash thoroughly with at least 40% alcohol (rum, whisky, gin, vodka, brandy,
cognac).
4. Apply a loose dressing.
5. Give Lyssinum 200C to prevent rabies (unless the bite is from a reptile). Can be
repeated a few times as deemed necessary.
6. Then give Ledum 200C.
7. If the wound becomes infected give Gunpowder 6C and clean with a mild
antiseptic.

Insect bites/stings

Insect bites or stings can be treated both internally and externally with homeopathic
remedies.

1. Externally, you can apply a cream made from Rumex Crispus, Urtica Urens or
Ledum Palustre, or a mother tincture of any one. If you only have pills, say of
Ledum, you can dissolve a pill in some water and apply directly, or via a wetted
cloth.
2. Give any potency of Arnica you have (30C, 200C, 1M).
3. Internally, take Ledum 30C a few times that day.
4. Take a remedy for the offending insect, such as Apis 30C for bee and wasp stings.
(Homeopathic remedies can be made from any offending insect. From homeopathic pharmacies you
can obtain potencies of Pulex Irritans, made from fleas, and Cimex, made from bed bugs. Or you can
make a remedy yourself from any insect that bites you. Just follow the instructions given in How to
make homeopathic remedies for special purposes in this book.)

5. If a watery blister develops, take Cantharis 30C a few times that day.
6. If a secondary infection appears with the formation of a thick, yellow discharge
(pus) take Gunpowder 3C, 6C or 12C every 6 hours. Clean such infections
regularly with a disinfectant, such as Triple Rose Water.

Acute illness situations
Mite bites

Mites may cause a very irritating raised skin rash. Treat as above for insect bites, but if
the rash is persistent take Sulphur 6C twice a day for a few days.

Tick bites

There are several ways of removing a tick.

 Applying tincture of iodine to the tick body.

 Applying turpentine to the tick body.

 Heating the tick body with the tip of a burning cigarette, cigar, rope, etc.

Make sure you get the whole tick out, including the beak. Scrape, rather than pull,
the beak out if necessary, making sure nothing remains behind to cause an infection.
Some ticks can cause paralysis (if attached to your head, neck or spine), but once
removed the paralysis will abate within a few hours and the effect will be totally gone in
a couple of days.

In Mexico, bites from the venomous tick locally called 'pajaroello' (Ornithodoros
coriaceus), are very dangerous and the treatment for snake bites given below should
be used.

Walks in the woods in the US, Europe, Asia and Australia may result in bites by a
species of mite called Ixodes. This mite carries a spiral bacterium (Borrelia burgdorferi
in the US, Borrelia afzelii or Borrelia garinii in Europe) that can cause Lyme disease
(borreliosis), which has three stages:

1. Within 3-30 days (80% of cases) a slightly raised red skin rash (bullseye rash)
develops, which expands over several days to form a ring with a diameter from 5 to
50 cm. This rash is often accompanied by flu-like symptoms, with fever and muscle
pain.
2. Weeks or months later there may be neurological signs (15%) such as one-sided
facial paralysis (Bell‘s palsy) or cardiac problems (8%). Rashes like the primary
rash may also appear, but are smaller and not at the initial bite site.
3. Months to years later chronic arthritis may develop (60%).

Medical treatment for this is antibiotics. If you see ring rash, consider taking the
remedy Borrelia burgdorferii nosode 30C twice a week for two weeks, or 200C twice
during a month. In Europe you might check with your homeopathic pharmacy whether
they have or can make the Borrelia afzelii or Borrelia garinii nosode.

Bees and other stingers

Included here are stings or burns from all types of bees, wasps, hornets and ants.

97
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Acute illness situations
The first steps to take are to remove any remaining stinger and then apply vinegar to
the sting site. Stingers should be scraped rather than pulled out as squeezing them
pumps more poison into your body.

Follow the same procedure as for Insect bites above, but follow up by taking Apis
Mellifica 30C a few times. You should know that specific remedies for wasp stings
(Vespa Crabro) and fire ant stings (Solenopsis richteri) exist, and your homeopathic
pharmacy may have other insects on their remedy list for species in the geographical
area of your concern.

In case of physical collapse the patient should be placed lying on the side, making
sure he/she can breathe freely. Here Carbo vegetabilis 30C or 200C is quite useful and
you can repeat it every 10-15 minutes until you notice improvement. This remedy is
known as the corpse reviver among homeopaths.

Venomous snake and lizard bites

Initial steps

1. It is important to kill the snake. This is for identification purposes to get the correct
antivenin. (Also in Brazil, they cut off the head of the snake and apply the cut body
stump of the snake to the wound, which is said to be very effective.)
2. If possible, initiate arrangements for medical assistance.
3. If a mild antiseptic is available, such as Triple Rose Water, clean the wound.
4. If the bite is on a limb, bandage it tightly with narrow strips of cloth and keep the
limb still to reduce venom spreading. If the bite is not on a limb, apply a pad and
maintain pressure on it.
Treatment

1. If the patient is in a panic, give Aconite 200C or 1M. This can be important as
excessive anxiety can accelerate the spreading of venom throughout the body.
2. Give any potency of Arnica you have (30C, 200C, 1M).
3. Then after some minutes give Ledum 30C or 200C.
4. Follow this up a few minutes later with Lachesis 200C (or Toxica serpentinum
30C*).
5. If the patient reacts strongly, you can alleviate the aggravation by giving Lachesis
30C. If there is no reaction, give Lachesis 10M.
6. In case of physical collapse place the patient lying on the side and keep the
airways clear. Give Carbo vegetabilis 200C every 10 minutes. If the patient is not
breathing apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
* There is a remedy called Toxica serpentinum which you may be able to order from your homeopathic
pharmacy. This remedy is made for different geographical regions of the world, such as USA/Canada,
Mexico/Central America, South America, Africa, etc. and consists of a combination of the venoms of
the snake species found in the region in question. The remedy consists of a mixture of the 30C
potencies of the respective snake remedies. For further details, consult the book "The World
Travellers' Manual of Homeopathy' by Dr. Colin B. Lessell.

Spider bites

Initial steps

1. It is important to kill the spider. This is for identification purposes to get the correct
antivenin.
2. If possible, initiate arrangements for medical assistance.
3. If a mild antiseptic is available, such as Triple Rose Water, clean the wound.
4. If the bite is on a limb, bandage it tightly with narrow strips of cloth and keep the
limb still to reduce spreading of the poison. If the bite is not on a limb, apply a pad
and maintain pressure on it.
Treatment

For spider bites with only minor local skin reaction, follow the general treatment
procedure described under Bees and other stingers above.

With serious spider bites where there are severe local or general reactions, or you
suspect these might develop, follow the treatment for snake bites described under
Venomous snake and lizard bites above.

Instead of Lachesis use Apis 30C followed by Tarentula 30C about 15 minutes later.

If you know the type of spider, instead of Tarentula it would be better to use the
remedy made from the poison of the spider concerned. This includes such remedies as
Latrodectus katipo (New Zealand spider), Latrodectus mactans (the black widow
spider), Latrodectus hasselti (the Australian red black spider), Latrodectus
curassavicus, also called Theridion, (the orange spider of Curaçao and other West
Indian islands).

Scorpion stings

In case of a possibly serious scorpion sting, medical treatment should be obtained right
away, particularly in case of small children.

For scorpion stings with only minor local skin reaction, follow the general treatment
procedure described under Bees and other stingers above.

If there are general reactions or you suspect it could be a serious sting, treat as for
poisonous snake bites above, but instead of Lachesis use the homeopathic remedy
Scorpion, or a homeopathic remedy for the local scorpion species.

Leeches

Remove leeches by applying vinegar, salt or the heat of a match or cigar to remove
them completely as ripping them off can leave parts behind, possibly resulting in
infection.

Take Phosphorus 30C to stop any bleeding and apply Calendula cream to the
wound.

99
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Acute illness situations
In case of infection apply frequent dressings soaked in a mild antiseptic such as
Triple Rose Water and take Gunpowder 3C or D or Hepar Sulphuris several times a
day until cured.

Jellyfish, octopus and cone shell poisoning

Jellyfish stings normally cause discomfort, tingling and some local swelling. If the
jellyfish is not the potentially lethal type, such as the box jellyfish (Chironex fleckeri) of
northern Australia, the following procedure should be followed:

1. If the patient is in a panic, give Aconite 200C or 1M. This can be important as
excessive anxiety can accelerate the spreading of venom throughout the body.
2. Give any potency of Arnica you have (30C, 200C, 1M).
3. Then after some minutes give Ledum 30C or 200C.
4. Any tentacles present should be washed with lots of vinegar (or dry sand applied)
and removed with care, avoiding skin contact with them.
5. Apply the homeopathic cream Hypercal (a mixture of Hypericum and Calendula) to
the wound site several times a day.

More poisonous jellyfish such as the Portuguese man-o‘ war (Physalia physalis),
found in any ocean, or the Carukia barnesi (of Australia) and the deadly box jellyfish of
Australia cause severe symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, headache, muscle pains
and trembling. These jellyfish can cause death by respiratory or heart failure.

If the jellyfish, octopus or cone shell is of the potentially lethal type (such as the box
jellyfish and blue-ringed octopus of Australia, and certain cone shells of tropical and
subtropical waters), the following procedure should be followed:

1. If the patient is in a panic, give Aconite 200C or 1M. This can be important as
excessive anxiety can accelerate the spreading of venom throughout the body.
2. After some minutes, if possible, give the homeopathic remedy made from the
poison of the offending species: Chironex fleckeri 200C for the box jellyfish,
Hapalochlaena maculosa 200C for the blue-ringed octopus and Conus
geographicus 200C for the cone shell.
3. Give any potency of Arnica you have (30C, 200C, 1M).
4. Then after some minutes give Ledum 30C or 200C.
5. Repeat the Aconite, any specific species remedy, and Ledum every few minutes a
number of times.
6. Any tentacles present should be washed with lots of vinegar (or dry sand applied)
and removed with care, avoiding skin contact with them. Never use alcohol or
methylated spirits as this will increase the spread of poison.
7. If the sting is on a limb, bandage it tightly with narrow strips of cloth and keep the
limb still to reduce the spreading of poison. If the sting is not on a limb, apply a pad
and maintain pressure on it.

100
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Acute illness situations
8. If possible administer a specific antivenin for the jellyfish.
9. In case of collapse give Carbo Vegetabilis 200C or 1M.
10. Apply the homeopathic cream Hypercal (a mixture of Hypericum and Calendula) to
the wound site several times a day. Vitamin E oil applied to the skin is useful for
healing and scar prevention.

Sea urchin, starfish and poison fish stings

1. With sea urchin, starfish and poison fish stings apply the procedure of wet heat4 to
the affected area.
2. Remove any spine fragments embedded in the skin. If they cannot be removed,
beating the area with a stick to break the spines into pieces can be helpful.
3. If the patient is in a panic, give Aconite 200C or 1M. This can be important as
excessive anxiety can accelerate the spreading of venom throughout the body.
4. Give any potency of Arnica you have (30C, 200C, 1M).
5. Then after some minutes give Ledum 30C or 200C.
6. Give Silicea 3, 6 or 12C daily for some weeks to promote the expulsion of any
fragments left in the body.

Common acute situations

Abrasions

For abrasions, first give Arnica internally once or twice in any potency you have
available. Follow up by smearing Calendula cream on the wound. Repeat the
Calendula as needed.

Broken bones

For broken bones give Arnica, preferably 200C or 1M. Repeat as necessary. Set the
broken bone with splints until medical attention is obtained.

To promote bone healing give Symphytum: 6C daily, 30C 2-3 times a week, or 200C
once a week.

Bruises

For bruises, take Arnica, 30C, 200C or 1M up to a few times over a few days, as
needed. Using Arnica cream is very useful.

Burns

For minor burns you can take Urtica Urens 30C or apply the cream.

4
Wet heat = dip affected limb in water at 43-46 oC, remove after a few seconds when painful (to prevent the formation of
blisters), repeat up to 30 minutes until pain is gone. Use hot wet towels for other body parts. Wet heat destroys venom and
reduces pain.

101
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Acute illness situations
For more severe burns, the first remedy to take is Aconite. With shock, take Arnica
200C, especially if the burn area is better from heat.

With intense pains, take Arsenic 30C or lower once, or several times.

Apply vitamin E or vitamin E cream to the burn site. Vitamin E comes in capsules so
you just need to bite a hole in one and apply freely to the skin. Repeat as needed.

Concussion

For concussions give Arnica 200C, 1M, 10M depending on severity. Later give Natrum
Sulphuricum 10M once. Usually one dose will alleviate considerably. I have even seen
a 30-year daily migraine after a head injury due to diving into shallow water
miraculously disappear permanently in a matter of hours after taking one tiny pill of
Natrum Sulphuricum 10M. You have to see it to believe it. The 10M potency is
important here, as 1M might not work well.

Cuts

For cuts first give Arnica internally once or twice in any potency you have available.
Follow up by smearing Calendula cream on the cut. Repeat the Calendula as needed.

If the cut was caused by a rusty object, give Ledum 200C half an hour or so after
giving Arnica. This is to prevent development of tetanus.

Emotional shock

There are several types of emotional shock.

If the cause is loss of a loved one, give Ignatia 1M or 10M, depending on severity.

If related to fear or terror give Aconite 200C or 1M, depending on severity.

You can follow up with, Arnica 200C, 1M or 10M, depending on severity, or use it as
an alternative if you don‘t have any of the above remedies.

Exhaustion

If the exhaustion is due to exercise, give Arnica.

If it is due to hard work over a long period of time, give Muriaticum Acidum 200C.

If due to much mental work, such as after studying for exams, give Picricum Acidum
200C.

If due to emotional exhaustion, give Phosphoricum Acidum 200C.

If due to heat exhaustion or shock give Carbo Vegetabilis 200C. This remedy is also
very useful for persons suffering from hypothermia, for example, for people who have
been pulled out of the sea.

In any case, if you feel rather exhausted and weak, a 200C dose of Carbo
Vegetabilis or Carbo Animalis can be quite helpful in restoring vitality, in my
experience.

102
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Acute illness situations
German measles (Rubella)

Give Pulsatilla 200C for German measles once and wait a few hours to see what
happens. Only repeat if there is no improvement, but only once. The illness should
pass away fairly quickly. It is important for pregnant women to take this cure.

Laryngitis

For laryngitis give Argentum Nitricum 30C or 200C, especially if the person is someone
who loves to talk. If it does not work within a couple of hours, try Arum Triphyllum 30C
or 200C.

Physical shock, collapse

With collapse or physical shock, after having placed the person in a horizontal, face-up
position and made sure that the airways are unobstructed and any mouth-to-mouth
given, give Aconite 200C, 1M or 10M, the whichever you have and high if the situation
seems very serious.

If the person is unconscious give Carbo Vegetabilis 30 or 200C in liquid form (crush
a tablet and dissolve it, or just sprinkle the powder on the patient‘s tongue).

After improvement, follow up with Arnica as needed.

Sprains

In the case of injuries to joint ligaments, sprains, apply a cold compress or ice to the
affected area (ankle, knee, wrist).

Give Arnica 30C every half hour for a couple of hours. You could also give Arnica
200C and wait a few hours before repeating, depending on improvement.

Then follow up with Ruta Graveolens 6C (every few hours) or 30C (once a day for
up to a few days). Ledum can be given in the case of an ankle sprain.

If stiffness develops later, consider Rhus Toxicodendron 30C.

The corresponding creams are very useful as well.

Sunstroke

Sunstroke includes heat exhaustion, sun headache, heat stroke and cramps caused by
any of these.

The person should be placed in a shady place and given sufficient fluid and salt to
compensate for losses through perspiration.

First give Belladonna 30C or 200C, depending on severity. Carbo Vegetabilis 200C
is useful in exhaustion. These can be given several times in alternation until recovery
occurs. Cuprum Metallicum 30C or 200C is given for cramps.

If there are symptoms after this, Natrum Carbonicum 200C can be given once.

103
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Acute illness situations
Tennis elbow

For tennis elbow, give Ruta Graveolens 200C once and wait for up to a week to see
how it goes. Often the tennis elbow will clear up during the week and not return.

If the tennis elbow still persists, give Rhus tox 30C and await change for a day or so.

You may have to try other potencies of either Ruta or Rhus tox in alternation to
completely deal with this condition.

Wounds

For wounds, first give Arnica internally once or twice in any potency you have available.
Follow up by smearing Calendula cream on the wound. Repeat the Calendula as
needed.

If the wound was caused by a rusty object, give Ledum 200C half an hour or so after
giving Arnica. This is to prevent development of tetanus.

Common acute situations particular to children

Baby colic

For baby colic, give the baby Colocynthis 30C or 200C, then wait an hour or so to see if
there is any change. If no change, try again one more time, but no more.

Bronchitis

For bronchitis, give a pill of Antimonium Tartaricum 30C and wait an hour or so. If there
is no improvement, try Oscillococcinum (also known as Anas Barb) 200C. If no
improvement, call your homeopath.

Chickenpox (Varicella)

For chickenpox, give Rhus tox 30C, wait a few hours, then repeat. If there is insufficient
improvement you can try Rhus tox 200C, and wait for some hours to gauge response.

The remedy Antimonium Tartaricum 30C or 200C can also be used here in
alternation.

Earache

For earache Use Aconite 30C or 200C if the inflammation is recent and the ear is red,
hot and painful. The patient in this case is usually thirsty, worse from cold and worse in
the evening.

Give Belladonna 30C or 200C if the inflammation appeared suddenly and there are
boring, violent pains. The face is red, swollen and hot, the ear swollen, with possible
pus formation. Pain may extend to the throat. The patient is not thirsty.

104
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Acute illness situations
Give Pulsatilla 6C, 30C or 200C with sticking and tearing pains in and behind the
ears. There will most likely be a ‗poor me‘, wimpy attitude. Possible thick, yellowish
green discharge from the ear. The ears feel swollen and closed, with lack of hearing.
The 6C potency will clear the Eustachian tubes.

Give Chamomilla 30C or 200C if the patient is very sensitive and irritable, possibly
angry, and there are intense stabbing, tearing pains in the ears. The child is definitely
better from being carried.

Give Rhus tox if there is inflammation of the middle ear with a thick, yellow
discharge and itching inside, possibly as if something were crawling inside.

Mumps

In mumps, give Jaborandi 200C once and await response. If there is testicular
inflammation, give Pulsatilla 200C.

Measles

For measles Pulsatilla 30C or 200C is an excellent remedy. Give once and await
response.

Nosebleed

Millefolium 30C for simple nosebleeds.

For recurrent nosebleeds with profuse bright blood give Phosphor 30C.

Ferrum Phosphoricum 6C for nosebleeds for no obvious reason.

Pinched fingers, toes

For pinched fingers the standard remedy is Hypericum. Use whatever potency you
have, a lower potency such as 6C, 12C or 30C is convenient, but any will serve.
Hypericum is the specific remedy for injury to nerve-rich tissue.

Acute sinusitis

For acute sinusitis with thin, watery, burning nasal discharge, try Arsenicum Album 30C
once and wait for an hour to see whether or not there is improvement.

With pressure at the root of the nose and greenish, foul discharge, use Kalium
Bichromicum 30C. With no result and the same symptoms, try Mercurius Solubilis 30C.

With profusely flowing thin, watery egg white-like discharge that ends in a stopped
up nose after a few days, try Natrum Muriaticum 30C.

With a cold, sniffles and a stuffy nose at night, the remedy of choice is Nux Vomica
30C.

With a cold, itching at the front of the nose, forehead maxillary pain, and dry, hard
crusts, try Silicea 30C.

105
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Acute illness situations
Splinters

For splinters, thorns and spines from animals use Silicea 6C or 30C. This will drive the
foreign body out of the body. You may need to repeat 6C every day or 30C twice a
week. It is not recommended to take Silicea if the patient has implants such as
pacemakers, metal parts, etc. in the body

Teething

In teething, try Chamomilla 30C or 200C first, especially if there is unbearable pain.
One cheek may be red, the other pale and the child feels better from being carried.

Try Belladonna 200C if the child is irritable, restless, flushed and delirious.

With slow teething in chubby children who sweat at night, try Calcarea Carbonica
200C. This remedy follows well after Chamomilla.

With red gums, excessive sweat and saliva, green stools, give Mercurius Solubilis
30C.

Tonsillitis (very sore throat)

For tonsillitis give Mercurius Corrosivus 6C or 30C, especially if the tonsils are red,
possibly with white spots.

If the lymph glands of the upper neck are quite enlarged and sore, give Phytolacca
6C or 30C. (Phytolacca 6C taken for some months regularly will clear the lymphatic
system.)

If the sore throat is due to a sudden fever after exposure to cold, give Aconitum
Napellus 200C. This will most often stop the onset of flu.

Special acute situations

Chagas’ disease

In acute, latent and chronic cases of Chagas‘ disease you can give Chagas‘ nosode
30C or 200C. If latent or chronic give it once or twice a week for a month or so.

In acute cases with swollen eyelids, give Kalium Carbonicum 200C then followed up
with Ledum Palustre 30C.

Dengue

As a preventive remedy for dengue, and in the early stages, give Aconitum 200C. If
there is bone pain, give Eupatorium Perfoliatum 30C or 200C, alternating with Rhus
Toxicodendron 30C or 200C. Repeat as necessary.

If fever comes and goes, give Gelsemium 30C or 200C, repeating as necessary.

In case of shock, give Carbo Vegetabilis 200C or Veratrum Album 200C.

106
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Acute illness situations
If there is bleeding, give Crotalus Horridus 30C or Lachesis 30C, repeating as
necessary.

Dealing with the Flu

Prevention
For flu take Influenzinum 200C, Bacillinum 200C or Oscillococcinum 200C (also called
Anas Barb) once a month during the flu season. If there is an epidemic of flu, take 30C
three times a week.

Echinacea mother tincture will strengthen the immune system. Take some drops
each day and increase threefold during a flu epidemic.

A good multivitamin and extra vitamin C are also helpful in the prevention of flu.

Recent controlled scientific investigation suggest that probiotics (giving


microorganisms that are thought to be beneficial to health) are a valuable part of a
healthy diet.

In the prevention of flu, the ability of probiotic bacteria to support the immune system
can be important to the elderly, or people with a compromised immune function.

It seems that probiotics may be a safe, cost-effective, "natural" approach that adds a
barrier against microbial infection.

Start Phase of Flu (preferably use 200C)

There is a remedy lookup facility on www.clinic.euni.org where a search on ―flu‖ will


provide information on selecting the right remedy.

Aconite
For the first stages of flu symptoms after being exposed to a cold wind or getting
chilled. Also when the patient has fever and chill and is restless with anxiety.

Bryonia
Every movement causes pain. The patient wants to lie still. Painful dry cough.
Headache and pains, better from pressure, worse from movement. Irritable and thirsty
for cold drinks.

Camphora
Icy coldness, but does not want to be covered, although sensitive to cold. Desire for
cold drinks. A state of sudden collapse. Desire for snacks and company during fever.
Anxiety.

Eupatorium perfoliatum
Intense aching back, limbs and especially bones—which feel broken. Sore skin and
muscles. Shivering chills. Thirst for cold water. Food, drink and bile may be vomited.
Headache with nausea. Sore chest with cough.

107
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets

Nux Vomica
Extreme chilliness. Shivery and unable to get warm despite heat. Fever, but freezing
inside. Aching limbs and gastric problems. Nausea. Better from sleep, better from hot
drinks, better from strong pressure, better from being left alone.

Gelsemium Sempervirens
Aching tiredness and weakness, especially in muscles and limbs. Drowsy, dull,
apathetic, dizzy and trembling. Heavy eyelids with bruising headache from the neck to
head and forehead. Chill and heat. Not thirsty.

After Flu (200C)


Tuberculinum
This clears up symptoms after flu, especially when the lungs have been affected.
Coughs are irritating, incessant and tickling. Great debility, weight loss and lack of
appetite may be present. Three doses in 12 hours.

It may be necessary to follow up with one of the following:

China Officinalis
Continued debility and chilliness. Anaemic and weak with desire to stretch and
move. Worse on alternate days.

Kali Phosphoricum
General weakness with spasm. The slightest labour seems like heavy work.

Acidum Phosphoricum
Chronic fatigue after flu. Better from warmth, better from sleep. Feels apathetic,
dull, indifferent to everything. Low continued fevers.

Genus Epidemicus (200C)


In an epidemic this is the remedy that matches the collective symptoms of the disease
among the population.

With the recent bird flu, the symptoms described by a survivor of the H5N1 virus are
similar to those of the remedies: Antimonium tartaricum, Ipecacuanha and Sanguinaria.

Thus, these remedies should be examined for a match in any case of the flu caused
by this virus. The remedy with the closest match should be used to treat the patient.

In the case of bird flu, there is a procedure on how anyone can make a remedy
locally that will keep them alive. See the Making a homeopathic nosode section.

CHAPTER 6 - SPECIAL SITUATIONS


”Give me the children until they are seven and anyone may have them afterwards.”
St. Francis Xavier

What to do in pregnancy and childbirth

Factors to consider prior to pregnancy

I think you will agree that having healthy children is a worthwhile goal to pursue. Here
are some steps that can be followed to bring this about:

 Use a natural contraception method, thus avoiding health problems caused by


other methods

Worthy of consideration is the method discovered and developed by the Hungarian


doctor Eugen Jonas, a completely natural method based on new discoveries regarding
fertility cycles. This method has been proven and 97.7% effective for birth control. Thus
you can avoid the use of birth control pills and hormonal devices that can significantly
effect your health.

 You can decide whether to have a boy or a girl

The Dr. Jonas method includes a 100% effective gender selection procedure which
is totally natural and chemical-free, as well as being simple. For further details click
here.

 Treat illness disposition inherited from your family tree before passing them on to
your child

Homeopathy can be of great value in bringing healthy children into the world. This
could already begin with treatment of the parents (your husband and yourself) prior to
conception. Children of homeopathically treated parents have been found to be less ill
and less influenced by heredity, i.e. illness predispositions passed on down the family
tree.

As a child born of such parents grows up, they can be very impressed with how few
problems they have with their latest child, while their other children went from one
illness to another.

Problems that may appear during pregnancy

During pregnancy you might experience an extensive variety of conditions you would
much rather be without, all of which a few chemical-free homeopathic pills can resolve.
Such conditions commonly include nausea and vomiting, morning sickness, personality
changes, irritability, sleepiness and depression.

Other symptoms that could come your way are vertigo, breast pains, disgust for your
husband, aversion to sex, aversion to the sight and smell of food, hot-temperedness,
heartburn, shortness of breath, bladder inflammation, involuntary or frequent urination,

109

bleeding gums, cramps, and anxiety something bad will happen to your family. Quite a
package.

To top it all off, there could also be a lack of foetal growth, diarrhoea, weepiness,
cold body parts, great salivation, herpes, hypersensitivity to noise, painful varices, and
vaginal itching.

Problems connected with childbirth

Should you be very anxious, hysterical or sleepy prior to delivery it can be alleviated
quickly with remedies you can have at hand. Lack of cervical dilation or weak
contractions are treatable on the spot.

Should you have problems after delivery such as depression, aversion to your baby
(which happens to many women), bleeding, retained placenta, inflammation, swelling
and varices they can also be treated.

Your growing child

As vaccination is increasingly being linked to childhood allergies and future chronic


disease, an alternative immunization programme has been developed in which
homeopathic remedies are given at certain intervals over several years. It is based on
a research programme conducted in Australia over 15 years with 500 families. A
preventive effectiveness of 90% is reported.

Remedies for labour and childbirth

Before childbirth

Before childbirth take Arnica 200C the day before expected delivery and just before
giving birth.

Fear before giving birth

If you are afraid prior to childbirth take Aconite 1M the night before and some hours
prior to giving birth.

Don't take it at the same time as Arnica but some hours apart.

If the fear does not respond you can take Arsenicum 200C instead of Aconite.

Labour and delivery

During labour, Caulophyllym 200C (weakness of reproductive organs) will help with
dilation and the delivery process.

If it does not, then Cimicifuga 200C (weak contractions), Pulsatilla 200C (no thirst,
the warm room is uncomfortable) or Gelsemium 200C (feeling weak and trembling) are
alternatives.

110
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Special situations
After childbirth

If you have been cut during childbirth take Staphisagria 1M several times the first day a
few hours apart followed some hours later by Arnica 1M.

Calendula cream will heal incision wounds rapidly.

Then for up to a week as you feel the need take Arnica 200C several times a day.

If there is pain you can alternate Arnica 200C with Hypericum 200C.

If you don't have any of the above potencies you can take any other available lower
potency more frequently.

About traditional vaccination

When exposed to an infectious disease, the body produces antibodies and other
activated white blood cells to fight the infection. After recovery, an immunological
memory has been developed that will provide resistance to this disease in the future.

In essence, this is the process vaccination imitates. People are exposed to small
doses of infectious agents (attenuated or dead infectious organisms, microorganism
toxins or components).

According to current medical thinking, vaccination is mostly harmless, the few who
become living vegetables as a result being considered an acceptable low-percentage
risk—collateral damage, as it were. It is believed that vaccination eliminates illness,
and will stave off future deadly epidemics. The search for a vaccine that will eradicate
all human disease has become a highly-funded holy grail. Vaccination has become an
indisputable sacred cow, ever larger vaccine cocktails compulsorily being injected into
ever younger infants. Of course, the profits to pharmaceutical organizations are
immense, not to mention those from treating future illness caused by vaccination.

On examining the historical statistical basis for vaccination, one quickly sees many
discrepancies. Curiously enough, when vaccines were introduced most of the dreaded
diseases (whooping cough, measles, polio, tetanus, and diphtheria), were already well
on their way out owing to improved conditions of hygiene and nutrition. Vaccination
was subsequently given the credit for this statistical decline.

It should be noted that the medical double-blind testing stamp of approval for drugs
is conspicuously absent when it comes to vaccines. It should also be noted that the
French who fought side by side with their allies in the Gulf War were not afflicted with
the dreaded Gulf War Syndrome. They were not given the vaccine cocktail containing
all of Iraq's presumed chemical and biological arsenal that the British and American
soldiers received prior to being sent to Kuwait.

Many people are becoming concerned about the possible long-term effects of
vaccinations, especially as regards their children. Do they really need vaccination for
childhood illnesses such as measles, mumps and rubella? Will this open the door to
even more ominous afflictions? Perhaps these childhood diseases are a natural step in
the development of their immune system.

In the past, we saw acute illnesses from which children recovered fairly rapidly,
seldom leaving any lasting damage. Today we see few childhood illnesses, but an
alarming increase of children with middle ear infection with the risk of reduced hearing
and impeded language skill development. We see peevish, restless sleepers with
chronic runny noses. We see many allergies: eczema, hay fever, asthma, chronic
bronchitis and pneumonia. And, worse, we see a great increase in the number of
children who are hyperactive, have behavioural disorders and mental disturbances.
Causes may vary, but many believe there is a direct connection.

112
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Special situations
Is it possible that we are eliminating acute illnesses, but paying the price of an
increased incidence of chronic illness, together with a lowered level of general health
being passed on to succeeding generations ?

Some facts about the contents of vaccines might be in order. They are grown on
substrates, most of which derive from animal tissue such as rabbit brain, dog or
monkey kidney, chicken or duck egg, cells from aborted foetuses, calf serum, and pig
or horse blood. Such tissues contain proteins that may cause allergic reactions when
injected directly into the blood. Animal genetic material may thus be introduced via
living vaccine viruses and implanted into the human genetic system.

Vaccine viruses and bacteria also contain genetic information (RNA, DNA) that may
be spread and taken in by the cells of an organism. Such viruses may remain dormant
in cells for many years before becoming activated, then causing autoimmune illnesses
such as allergies, arthritis, rheumatism and sclerosis.

Among other things, vaccines contain additives including formaldehyde (a known


allergen and carcinogen), mercury, aluminium phosphate, acetone and glycerine.
These are present in minute quantities, of course, but are quite poisonous and, after
all, directly introduced into tissue.

Most homeopaths consider routine vaccination harmful. Many do not offer


preventive homeopathic treatment as an alternative, believing it better to treat only
when an illness appears. Others will prescribe preventive homeopathic remedies,
especially in epidemics and for travellers who venture into areas with a high disease
risk. In Australia a fifteen-year homeopathic immunization program was recently carried
out by Dr. Isaac Golden in which 500 families participated. The results reported were
good.

During its more than 200 year history, homeopathy has proven highly effective in
epidemics, both as regards cure and prevention, with well-documented success rates
in, among others, scarlet fever, polio, cholera and influenza epidemics (including the
Spanish flu one), and offers a viable alternative to vaccination.

Short-term homeopathic immunization for children

This program is to be used if your child is likely to be exposed to infection, e.g. visiting
relatives with whooping cough, measles, etc., or there is a meningococcal outbreak in
town. As no method of prophylaxis is perfect, this will give added protection.

Disease Main remedy Substitution Instruction


remedy

Whooping Cough Pertussin Cuprum Metallicum Take 200C twice each week for 2 weeks during an
outbreak of whooping cough.

Tetanus Tetanus Toxin Hypericum Take 30C three times daily for three days after
breakage of the skin where the danger of contracting
tetanus is present.

Polio Lathyrus Sativus Lathyrus Sativus Take the remedy in a potency of 200C once a week
during an outbreak of polio.

Pneumococcal Pneumococcinum Belladonna Take 200C every 2 weeks for 6 weeks during an
Disease outbreak.

Measles Morbillinum Pulsatilla Take 200C weekly for 4 weeks during an outbreak.
Meningococcal Meningococcinum Belladonna Take 200C weekly for 4 weeks during an outbreak.
Hib Haemophilis Arsenicum Album Take 200C weekly for 4 weeks during an outbreak of
haemophilis influenzae (HIB Meningitis).

Influenza Oscillococcinum Influenzinum Take 200C weekly for 4 weeks during an outbreak of
(Anas Barb) influenza.

Long-term homeopathic immunization for children

Dr. Isaac Golden, an Australian homeopath, has developed a homeopathic


immunization program he calls homeoprophylaxis.

He has run the program for over 15 years and included over 500 Australian families
in the project. The results have been excellent, with about 90% efficacy.

The homeoprophylaxis program runs for 60 months. During the first 32 months the
child takes a remedy at monthly or bimonthly intervals. In the remaining months, the
intervals are larger.

Of course, parents can decide which diseases they wish their children to be
immunized against, depending on local conditions and their particular fears.

The diseases included in the program are: whooping cough, pneumococcal disease,
meningococcal disease, tetanus, hib influenza, polio, diphtheria, measles and mumps.
The remedy potencies used are mostly 200C, 1M and 10M.

For further details about the program, Dr. Isaac Golden‘s books are recommended,
a list of which you will find in the Bibliography. Instructions for and supervision of this
homeoprophylaxis program can be obtained by contacting us via www.clinic.euni.org.

yellow fever.

Indications are given for each of these problems with a corresponding remedy and
potency. Many of the remedies listed are described in the Treatment with basic acute
remedies section.

Homeoprophylaxis prior to and during trips to distant regions

The recommended dosages below are based on brief visits such as a holiday or
business trip limited to from one to three months in which exposure will be little.

If the stay is to be longer, take the doses indicated below, then follow up with triple
doses of 1M or 10M every 4 to 6 months. A triple dose means taking the remedy three
times during a period of 24 hours.

Cholera

For cholera prevention, take Cuprum Metallicum 200C (cupr) once every two weeks
while in cholera zones.

This is a disease of poor sanitation and hygiene and can occur anywhere in the
world. It is caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae.

The high risk zones are: India, Bengal, South-East Asia, the Middle East, Africa,
eastern Europe, South America and the western Pacific.

The disease is contracted by ingesting food or liquids contaminated with cholera


bacteria. The incubation period can be as short as a few hours, or as long as a week.

There is a sudden onset with explosive diarrhoea, followed by copious 'rice-water'


stools.

Camphor 200C can be used to treat the early stages of cholera.

115
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Special situations
Dysentery (Bloody diarrhoea)

For short-term protection against dysentery take Arsenicum Album (ars) 30C for
amoebic dysentery (caused by a parasite, fever usually absent) once each week.

Take Mercurius Corrosivus (merc-c) 30C for bacillary dysentery (caused by bacteria,
also known as Shigellosis) once each week.

The nosodes Dysentery 1M and Giardia 1M are also useful prophylactics.

Hepatitis A, B, C

Take 1M or 10M of the Hepatitis A, B and C nosodes once ever 2-4 weeks during
exposure.

Hepatitis A is communicated via poor food hygiene.

Hepatitis B is contracted via sexual contact, poor surgical technique, unsterile


injection methods, unsterile acupuncture, tattooing and possibly biting insects such as
bed bugs.

Hepatitis C is spread by blood and serum-derived fluids and by direct contact with
body fluids.

Japanese B Encephalitis

Take the Japanese B Encephalitis nosode 1M weekly. If it is unavailable use


Belladonna 200C instead.

This disease is transmitted by a mosquito found in the rice fields of South East Asia
and the Far East. It mainly occurs during the monsoon season.

Avoiding areas where rice cultivation and pig farming co-exist will greatly reduce the
risk of contracting this disease.

Malaria

For malaria, either Natrum Muriaticum (nat-m) 200C or Cinchona Officinalis (chin)
200C should be taken once every two weeks starting at least two weeks before
travelling to a malarial zone, continuing until two weeks after returning.

Malaria Officinalis can be useful, but may be too specific to cover some strains of
malaria.

High risk areas are Thailand and neighbouring countries, Central America, South
America, Kenya and Africa south of the Sahara.

Normal preventive drugs are only 85% effective and malarial parasites are
developing resistance to them. Moreover, they must be taken for 4-8 weeks after
returning home. Also they should not be taken during pregnancy.

116
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Special situations
Meningitis

For meningitis take Meningococcinum 1M every 1-4 weeks depending on the intensity
of exposure.

The high risk areas are the meningitis belt of Africa, Nepal, New Delhi and Mecca.

As the disease is spread via exhaled droplets from those affected, avoidance in
these areas may be impossible.

Symptoms include fever, severe headache, stiff neck, vomiting, sleepiness,


convulsions and coma.

Smallpox

For smallpox, take triple doses of Malandrinum 1M, Variolinum 1M or Thuja every
month for three months while in a risk area.

This disease is considered to be completely eradicated world wide by public health


authorities (although cultures are kept in certain research laboratories) and therefore
smallpox vaccination is not usually required to enter any country.

Tuberculosis

For tuberculosis, take Tuberculinum Bovinum 1M one dose monthly while visiting
suspect areas.

This is not uncommon in developing and tropical countries. The form of the disease
which affects the lungs is contracted by inhaling droplets of sputum from someone who
has tuberculosis.

The most frequent symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis are chronic cough (worse
on waking), fever in the afternoon, night sweats, pain in the chest or upper back,
chronic weight loss and increasing weakness.

Typhoid

Take Baptisia 200C one dose every two weeks during exposure.

Typhoid fever is caused by the bacillus Salmonella typhi which is ingested in food
where poor hygiene is practiced during its preparation. Thus, it can be contracted
anywhere in the world.

As early treatment of the disease the remedies Baptisia and Gelsemium 30C may
be alternated frequently (every few hours). After improvement and the diarrhoea has
stopped, follow with Cinchona Officinalis (chin) 30C every 6 hours for 2 days. Repeat
this sequence for any relapse.

Typhus

For typhus, take Baptisia 200C one dose every two weeks during exposure.

This is caused by a group of microorganisms that resemble bacteria in form, but are
intracellular parasites.

117
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Special situations
They are transmitted to man by various types of lice, fleas, mites and ticks and the
diseases caused are known as typhus.

If typhus is contracted, the nosode for the type of typhus may be used in conjunction
with any of the following remedies:

1. Mild cases with muscle or joint pains and great restlessness – Rhus
Toxicodendron (rhus-t)
2. In severe cases with drowsiness or delirium – Baptisia (bapt)
3. Severe cases, anxiety, thirst for sips, chilly – Arsenicum (ars)
4. With pneumonia – Phosphorus (phos)
5. With enlarged lymph glands – Mercurius Solubilis (merc)

Yellow Fever

During exposure select any one of the following remedies in 30C and take one dose
each week: Arsenicum Album (ars), Crotalus Horridus (rattle snake) (crot-h) or
Phosphorus (phos).

Yellow fever is endemic in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of South and Central
America and Africa. It is transmitted by the bites of the Aedes and other jungle
mosquitoes.

The incubation period is 3-6 days. Many mild cases occur, but in severe cases there
is a sudden onset of fever, chills and shivering, muscle and bone pains, backache,
severe headache, pain in the upper abdomen, vomiting, flushed face, coated tongue
and offensive breath.

In the early stages Aconite and Belladonna can be alternated every hour.

Later, depending on symptoms, the above prophylactics Arsenicum, Crotalus


Horridus and Phosphorus can be given.

How to deal with radiation exposure

As usual in homeopathy, how you deal with radiation exposure will depend on the
symptoms the patient has. The patient‘s vital force and amount of exposure to radiation
will determine the outcome of the treatment. Below follow indications for a number of
homeopathic remedies. Use 30C or 200C and see how the patient responds.

As usual, if there is a curative response, wait until there is a relapse before repeating
the remedy, either the same or a higher potency.

Cadmium Sulphuricum (cadm-s)

Mental state: Horror of being alone and of work. Apprehension at the approach of
someone. Anxiety before stool. Great irritability.

Physical state: Violent nausea. Nausea from anything touching the lips. Intense
retching. Black vomit. Vomiting of mucus, green slime, blood. Great prostration. Wants
small drinks of water, which are vomited right away. Burning and cutting stomach pain.

Cadmium Iodatum (cadm-i)

If the patient did not protect the thyroid with crude doses of Potassium Iodide.
Cadmium Iodatum is a great gland remedy: cervical glands, tonsils, thyroid, mammary
glands, lymphatic system, testicles, ovaries.

Mental state: Hates everything and everybody. Lots of self-pity.

Physical state: Bloated abdomen. Itching anus and rectum only during the day.
Constipation. Frequent desire to stool.

How to survive the bird flu

Known symptoms of Avian Influenza

Known symptoms of avian influenza are: fever, cough, sore throat, and muscle aches,
eye infections (conjunctivitis), pneumonia, acute respiratory distress, severe coughs
that tear muscles, viral pneumonia, and other severe and life-threatening
complications.

About 50% die with intensive hospital care at the moment.

120

Special situations
Planning ahead

You need long-life food in stock, such as rice and lentils and a full freezer. A new
plastic dustbin with a lid full of water or even two might be wise. A water filter would be
a useful device.

You should by buy face masks and a homeopathic kit. If you treat others, you should
probably purchase a really good clothing protection kit.

You can get PC Avian Influenza from www.vitalremedies.com or the free download
and be ready to make the nosode.

Buy in essentials you might need as shops may be shut for weeks.

It is no use waiting to do all this. If the epidemic starts it will be too late.

Use up your stocks and keep them replenished as the timing is uncertain.

After care

It is likely many people will not fully recover. Treatments in use may reduce their
numbers, but vaccinations may have side effects. Use of the above homeopathic
methods will certainly provide a treatment for this flu and prove effective.

PC remedies for avian flu

The Healing Trust (UK) owns the rights of the PC Avian Influenza medicine, the original
and all further versions. You can order it from the Helios pharmacy. See
www.vitalremedies.com

PC Avian Influenza is also available for as an mp3 download from


www.healingdownloads.com. You may prefer this new technology. The inventor,
homeopath Peter Chappell, offers no proof but personally believes it‘s the very best
answer. What have you got to loose? Also you can send it to friends.

Making a homeopathic nosode

This you can do at home. It‘s not for the faint hearted, but in a life/death crisis you
might stomach it. You need a mask and gloves. You get some spit, sputum, or other
disease product from a person sick with this flu. Any tiny quantity will do, even a pin
head of it. You put it into a bottle of tap water, (the bottle can be 50 ml or 500 ml, which
is not important glass or plastic). Close or screw on the top, strike the bottle hard on a
wooden surface 40 times. Empty out the bottle. Refill with water, the film on the inside
will re-medicate the water. Strike 40 times. Empty out. Repeat this process 30 times in
total. You now have a harmless nosode to protect you against the bird flu and lessen
its impact.

It takes about half an hour to do this. Put the final version into a bottle of either
mineral or tap water, half a litre is good, with at least 10% alcohol, vodka, brandy, or
whisky as preservative. This is the nosode stock.

121
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Special situations
This you can supply to endless friends and neighbours by using the final bottle. One
drop from this bottle can be used to repeat the entire process and obtain a new nosode
stock bottle. It is an endless supply. From one sample you can make enough in a
kitchen to supply a town, all you need are bottles of water, mineral water is easiest.

Prophylaxis and treatment protocol

Take this nosode (home made or bought) or PC Avian Influenza (pills or download) or
both once daily, one spoonful after striking the bottle 5 times on a wooden surface to
wake it up for prophylaxis.

And or listen to the download. This gives you three options, any one of which should
work.

Strike the bottle, tip some into a glass and sip every fifteen minutes as soon as you
start to feel symptoms. Ease off to hourly until recovered. Likewise, in full blown cases
use every 15 minutes. In severe cases sip every few minutes or listen every 15
minutes. Refill the glass every 4 hours after striking the bottle 5 times again.

After care

Survivors will still suffer in many cases. The remedies above will help to complete
recovery. Specific homeopathic remedies may be needed for particular conditions,
such as for damage from violent coughing (Arnica - injured, Bryonia - can‘t move, PC
Injury) and for exhaustion (Carbo Vegetabilis – lies there like a corpse, Phosphoricum
Acidum - completely apathetic and indifferent).

Homeopathic kits with instruction booklet are available from homeopathic


pharmacieswww.ainsworths.co.uk, www.helios.co.uk, www.nelsonshomoeopathy.co.
uk. PC Injury is a download mp3 from www.healingdownloads.com, or the pill remedy
can be bought from some pharmacies www.vitalremedies.com. In the opinion of the
remedy creator, Peter Chappell, a PC pill is easier to believe in, but the mp3 download
will work best.

What to do when you don’t have the required remedy with you

Let‘s say you are travelling and come across a patient who needs a certain remedy,
which you don‘t have with you and is unobtainable in the local area.

In such a situation, you can make use of the following Tricircle


diagram developed by the radiesthesist5 Jean de La Foye, which
you can draw on a piece of paper, preferably with the overall
rectangular dimensions 12 x 31 cm.

First the diagram must be oriented to magnetic north. Then you


place something that represents your patient, such as a photo, some
hair, name and birth date, etc. in the bottom circle.

After this, you write the name of the remedy on a slip of paper,
either the homeopathic abbreviation or the full Latin or common
name of the remedy, which you can find in the table of abbreviations
at the back of this book. You can also write the potency of the
Figure 7. Remedy remedy. This slip you place in the top circle.
transmitter
You will have to use your intuition (or a pendulum) to determine
the length of time you leave this system transmitting. The right remedy in an acute
situation should produce almost immediate results. However, you‘ll have to learn this
by experience.

While travelling with my wife she developed an intense toothache for which she
required the remedy Chamomilla. It also appeared that she had a gum infection. As
Chamomilla was not available, I decided to try out this method and drew the Tricircle
diagram on a piece of paper using a cup to make the circles. I must admit, the diagram
was much smaller than the recommended 12 x 31 cm, and the circles were not perfect.

I oriented the diagram to magnetic north. Then I wrote cham (the remedy
abbreviation of Chamomilla) on a slip of paper, put it in the top circle and placed her
passport on the bottom circle. I forgot to write the potency, but believe I imagined it to
be 200C.

After a couple of minutes, I asked how she was doing and to my surprise she
reported that the pain was suddenly substantially reduced. Then I proceeded to treat
the gum infection with Mercury 30C, which I had on hand in pill form, and it did not take
many hours to bring the infection to a halt and my wife on her feet again.

You can, in principle, transmit remedies at any distance as the vibrations pass
through the etheric and higher levels. (If you don‘t know much about these levels you
can search the internet or read books by C.W. Leadbeater or Arthur. E. Powell. See the
Bibliography) In doing so, be sure to determine by intuition, or by the use of a
pendulum—if you know how to operate one—the duration of the transmission. Too long
a duration can be counter-productive and lead to more severe symptoms.

Radiesthesia simply defined is the science of detecting and transmitting subtle energies. A book with this and many other useful
diagrams can be found in the book Os Gráficos em Radiestesia by António Rodriguez, listed in the Bibliography, a Spanish version
of which can be downloaded from www.clinica.euni.org by clicking on the geometric symbol on the main page.

For example, I once transmitted Arnica 1M to a lemon tree that had been grossly
pruned by an ignorant gardener, after which it stopped producing lemons. I only
transmitted the remedy for about 15 minutes. The tree has since recovered and is busy
producing quantities of high-quality lemons again.

What to do in extreme survival situations

If you should find yourself in the aftermath of a catastrophic event, or somewhere far
from any human population, with no remedies or medicines for use in common,
potentially lethal situations such as a simple infection after a cut, or dealing with an
animal bite, you could use your knowledge of homeopathic remedies obtained in this
book to produce your own remedies with the aid of the octagonal remedy maker shown
in figure 5 and some liquid.

In the case of an infection, you could use the homeopathic remedy Mercurius in a
suitable potency to cure yourself or a patient.

Should you have a patient who is some distance away, you could use the remedy
transmitter shown in figure 7 to effect treatment, just using the figure, something to
represent your patient, and a remedy name.

Lacking paper and pen or pencil, you could draw these figures on the ground with a
stick or finger and similarly write the corresponding remedy name and something to
represent your patient.

This could save your life or the lives of others with the aid of such simple means at
hand.

Prevention

CHAPTER 7 - PREVENTION
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
Popular saying

Electrosmog

The subject of electrosmog is becoming increasingly important in our technological


civilization, where we are being exposed to an increasing number of electrical and
electronic devices that appear in our homes, work places, our cities and villages, and
even in the countryside.

From outside our homes we are exposed to magnetic fields from nearby high-
tension wires, transformer stations—particularly microwaves from the mobile phone
masts that have mushroomed up around us.

In our homes we are immersed in the emissions of an increasing number of devices


such as PCs, small transformers, electric motors, leaky microwave ovens, televisions,
and mobile phones.

Recently, the so-called energy-saving light bulbs have been forcefully introduced,
even made mandatory by law in some countries, among others, Ireland. A new study
conducted by German scientists in Berlin found that these bulbs release carcinogenic
chemicals and toxins, such as phenol (used as a means of execution by Nazis in the
Second World War), naphthalene (can damage or destroy red blood cells = anaemia)
and styrene (gastrointestinal, kidney and respiratory system toxin).

Moreover, when such a bulb is broken, it releases dangerously high levels of


mercury into the air. When disposed of these bulbs contaminate the ground water with
mercury, in particular, in landfills.

A professor of biology at Haifa University in Israel has found that the light emitted by
these energy-saving light bulbs increases the chance of women getting breast cancer,
as it disrupts the body‘s production of the hormone melatonin, which can also produce
sleep disorders.

The radiation emitted by these bulbs has been linked with migraine headaches,
fatigue, dizziness and other health defects.

Such light bulbs can be used outside of the house, but in any case the quality of its
light spectrum is rather poor, and unpleasant to many. Electrosensitive people
complain of unbearable pain induced by remaining in such light, even for a short period
of time. I can personally vouch for the unpleasant truth of this.

Often there are leakage currents circulating in our water pipes due to faulty wiring,
or we sleep too close to magnetic fields from wall cables, or electric devices near the
bed.

Likewise, we see a similar picture at the office. In office landscapes one finds a
multitude of energy-saving light bulbs, neon lights, pc screens, printers and cordless

125

Prevention
devices, such as pc-mice and mobile phones, emitting EMR (electromagnetic
radiation).

It does not require much imagination and common sense to realize that such
radiation may be affecting our health. Big business interests often suppress or
downgrade reports of people becoming ill. One does not hear or read much about such
people in the news media, yet they exist in great numbers. Sleep disturbances,
headaches, spontaneous abortions, cancer, leukaemia, constant tiredness, allergies
and other problems are 'seen' as just normal occurrences in life.

Many people have become so sensitive to electromagnetic fields that they are
unable to remain in any office, nor even at home, without developing intense pains and
other unpleasant symptoms, such as diarrhoea. Their expensive education and years
of experience have suddenly become worthless, their career gone. Some have had to
move out into the woods or to distant regions, or even caves, to escape the fields
emitted by electrical devices.

In most technologically advanced countries, associations for electrosensitive


persons have been established. One such is to be found a www.feb.se the website of
the Swedish association. This website contains links to associations in many other
countries and current news, much of it in English. Other links are given in the
Appendix. Sweden is a pioneer in EMR research.

1. House of Commons - Select Committee on Science and Technology

Earth radiation

There is electromagnetic radiation coming from the earth itself. Such earth radiation
may affect your health if you spend much time on certain pathogenic spots while
working or sleeping. Severe illness, mostly cancer, can result from this.

Hartmann lines are naturally occurring charged lines that run magnetically North-
South (2 m apart) and East-West (2.5 m apart). They rise from the ground like invisible
walls about 20 cm thick, penetrating buildings, and form a network that spans the
Earth. The intersections of these lines are what may cause problems to the human
organism.

Curiously, I have observed that the thickness of these Hartmann lines increases up
to several metres before an earthquake takes place somewhere. After the earthquake,
they return to normal.

The Curry lines are similar, but run diagonally to the poles about 4 m apart and 0.5
m wide, forming another network that spans the Earth diagonally. Here again, it is the
intersections that give problems.

There are other sources of electromagnetic radiation stemming from the earth, often
called earth rays. Underground streams emit vertical walls of microwaves, as do
stressed geological fault lines. Deposits of oil, gas and minerals may also do the same.
Intersections of such walls are again what may cause problems.

126
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Prevention
If Hartmann, Curry and earth ray lines should cross, in any combination such points
would be extremely pathogenic.

This is the realm of geobiology, which was pioneered by the German doctor Ernst
Hartmann shortly after the end of World War II. A great deal of research has been done
in this field with thousands of case histories.

The conclusion of this work is that heavy illness is more often than not attributable to
sleeping on or spending much time on pathogenic spots.

Included here are cases of children who are frequently sick, do poorly in school, wet
their beds, grow abnormally, become seriously ill.

Included are also cases of heart problems, cancer, low energy, tumours,
rheumatism, immune problems, marriage failures.

Mostly it is a case of moving one's bed to another spot. Such a simple cure.

If you wish to have your house or place of work checked, you might contact a
professional dowser for advice.

It is unfortunate that therapists and doctors are mostly ignorant of this illness-
producing factor, or consider it unworthy of attention as their learned professors at
school did not teach this subject, nor do medical authorities and associations mention
it. This despite the encyclopaedic volumes of case evidence collected by investigators
since the early 1900‘s, many of these investigators being medical doctors, engineers
and scientists—so-called people in the know.

HOWEVER, THE SAD AND SORRY TRUTH IS THAT IF A PATIENT SLEEPS IN A


BED AFFECTED BY THE ILLNESS-PRODUCING PHENOMENA OF HARTMANN,
CURRY LINES AND/OR EARTH RADIATIONS, THEN THE PATIENT WILL NEVER
BE CURED NO MATTER HOW STUPENDOUS AND SPOT-ON THE TREATMENT
GIVEN MIGHT BE IN THE EYES OF THE PHYSICIAN, HOMEOPATH,
NATUROPATH, ETC., AND THE UNFORTUNATE PATIENT WILL END UP BEING
CONSUMED BY THE ILLNESS CONTRACTED.

THIS CERTAINLY IS A HIGH PRICE TO PAY FOR GROSS IGNORANCE WHEN


THE SOLUTION MIGHT BE AS SIMPLE AS MOVING THE PATIENT’S BED JUST
ONE METER TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT.

Miasms

The word miasm (deriving from the Greek miainein 'to pollute') is a homeopathic term
for the infectious principle, which when taken in by the organism may cause disease. A
miasm may be inherited, acquired or acute.

The main miasms are psora (derived from scabies), sycosis (from gonorrhoea) and
syphilis (from syphilis). Other illnesses such as tuberculosis, cancer, drug abuse are
also considered to be miasmatic (passed on to offspring).

Prevention
If one of your ancestors had scabies, gonorrhoea or syphilis the miasm has been
passed on to you as a predisposition or active illness, possibly with a physical
deformity.

A classical homeopath is trained to take this into account and take the appropriate
steps to treat such miasms.

As a patient, it is important to be aware of this miasmatic inheritance and avoid


passing it on to one's children, but have it treated first.

If one has had scabies, gonorrhoea or syphilis prior to having children, it would be
wise to treat one‘s children for such illnesses homeopathically.

A family history of tuberculosis, cancer or drugs prior to having children would also
warrant treating them for such.

Organ cleansing

Keeping certain organs, such as the liver, colon and kidney clean can be quite
important in maintaining a good state of health. Many illnesses are caused by a
congested colon and liver.

These days a lot of toxic substances wind up in the liver from sources such as air
pollution, food and drink, and pharmaceutical drugs. The colon may accumulate
undigested food and toxins to such a degree that its shape is greatly altered and
expanded.

As different segments of the colon are connected with organs such as the brain,
eyes, ears, heart, etc., accumulated toxicity in a segment can affect the corresponding
organ.

Thus, it is wise to clean the liver and colon regularly, the frequency depending on
one‘s life style and environment.

Conclusion

CHAPTER 9 - CONCLUSION
“Every great advance in natural knowledge has involved the absolute rejection of authority.”
Thomas Huxley

Homeopathy can be understood by anyone willing to give it a try. He or she will see
results that seem magical and will wonder why it is not used more widely, why orthodox
practice does not embrace it.

This is not an important issue to waste time and energy on. Evolution is in progress.

The key is to use it and gain experience in how the small remedy pills can produce
almost instant results in many cases.

Open-minded people will say that homeopathy sounds interesting, but it is difficult
for them to really be convinced unless they have been cured of some ailment—such as
a hangover, food poisoning, the flu. And even then, many will say that the cure was
due to a new vitamin they started taking or a fabulous orange juice they began
drinking, etc.

This book has been written for independent spirits who have some capacity to see
truth when confronted with it, and are capable of taking action.

I wish you the best of success with this marvellous healing tool with which you can
raise the vibrational level of those who seek you out for help with a distressing
condition—be it physical, emotional, mental or spiritual.

APPENDICES A TO K

APPENDIX A - Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

“Education: That which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid,
the vast limits of their knowledge.”
Mark Twain

1. Why isn't homeopathy used more extensively in traditional Western medicine?

One of the main reasons is that present day conventional science so far has not been
able to discover the mechanism by which homeopathy works. Most scientists confine
their observations to physical universe phenomena that fit their theories and ignore
phenomena their theories and models of the world can‘t explain— the ostrich
approach. Such a state of affairs existed when Galileo said that the earth revolved
about the sun and not the other way around, as claimed by those ―in the know‖ (the
Church at that time).

We homeopaths don‘t know exactly how homeopathy works, but we know how to
use it for the benefit of humanity every day. It is worthy of note that conventional
science does not know what electricity is, but knows how to make use of it.

Another reason is commercial. Cheap homeopathic remedies would undermine the


huge earnings of pharmaceutical companies, drug sales being the second greatest
income bringer on a world-wide basis—next to the sale of arms.

2. How can such a little, tiny pill taken just once cause such a great improvement in
patients suffering from acute or chronic illness?

Yes, the pills can be really small, some not much larger than the period at the end of
this sentence. This question has been asked of me many times with great wonder by
exceedingly grateful patients.

I have had patients who took a whole vial of the remedy prescribed as they thought
that one single small pill would be insufficient. Taking many homeopathic pills at a time
is not harmful. It is more or less like taking one. However, taking a pill frequently could
be harmful if the remedy is not indicated—and even if it is.

Considering that there are no chemicals in a homeopathic pill besides the lactose it
consists of and a slight trace of alcohol from the liquid remedy used to moisten lactose
pills, what is it that stimulates a patient's system to heal itself?

As mentioned before, the principle on which homeopathy is based is: ―like cures
like.‖ The information in the pill is similar to the information inherent in what is
disturbing the patient‘s vital force which, in turn, produces the symptom picture

134
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Appendices
presented by the patient. This symptom picture is similar to the symptom picture
produced in healthy persons on which the remedy was tested.

Simply put, it is information in subtle energy form derived from the remedy source
material, which information has been transferred to the pill. Such subtle energies are
described in esoteric literature such as that written by C.W. Leadbeater, Annie Besant
and Alice Bailey (Amazon.com offers most of their works). As this book deals with
homeopathy, I leave it to the curious to extend their knowledge of esoteric subjects on
their own.

3. How do you know whether your patient is improving or not after taking a
homeopathic remedy?

After giving a homeopathic remedy your patient may improve in seconds, greatly
surprising those concerned regarding how such a small pill can effect such a great
change so rapidly. This frequently occurs when you have selected the right remedy and
when the patient has a strong vitality.

Often you have to wait an hour or so to gauge improvement. Signs to look for are:
increased energy, a greater feeling of well-being, the patient‘s mood improving, the
patient feeling good about himself or herself. If you can see auras, you will notice that
the patient‘s aura brightens up immediately after giving the right remedy.

When treating pets and other animals, you will see more energy, greater well-being,
improved aura.

In acute situations, there should be a change in the patient‘s condition within an


hour or two, often depending on the severity of the condition, but by no means always.
Severe conditions can change in the matter of minutes, or seconds.

Patients with great vitality will change more rapidly. Those who have been taking
pharmaceutical drugs for some time, or are currently taking them, will often respond
more sluggishly, if at all. Their immune systems have been twisted away from the
natural state, thus making it difficult for any therapy to effect a cure.

4. When should I change to another remedy?

If you see no change in an acute condition within a few hours, find a more suitable
remedy to give your patient.

If your patient was doing well after the last remedy, but has had a relapse and you
repeated the same remedy at the same or a higher potency without further
improvement, find another remedy that fits the current symptom picture.

The basic idea is to repeat a remedy if the patient got better and then relapsed, after
which you change remedy if the patient does not improve.

5. When should I repeat a remedy?

Repeat the remedy you gave at the same potency if you have seen good improvement,
but the condition of your patient has deteriorated again. The patient‘s improvement

135
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Appendices
should last longer after a repeat. If not, try a higher potency, which should also lead to
improvement lasting longer. If not, change remedy.

6. Do homeopathic remedies expire?

Expiration dates mean nothing with respect to homeopathic remedies. They simply do
not expire. Remedies have been found that were 200 years old and they worked just
fine.

Pharmacies are required by law to mark their drug packaging with expiration dates
as the drugs consist of chemicals that decompose.

Since homeopathic remedies are not based on chemical content, but carry
vibrations the finer bodies of living beings respond to, the only concern is keeping such
vibrations intact. It is known that electromagnetic fields, sunlight and odours can
neutralize homeopathic remedies.

Placing homeopathic remedies on a loudspeaker, near a TV, microwave oven,


electric motor, cellular phone, or other devices that emit electromagnetic radiation or
magnetic fields might neutralize the remedies. Long exposure to sunlight is to be
avoided for the same reason.

Passing remedies through airport x-ray or other radiative devices can reduce the
effectiveness of remedies somewhat each time.

Opening a homeopathic remedy in a space with odours from perfume or incense is


to be avoided as neutralization can occur.

7. Can you die from taking homeopathic remedies?

Homeopathic remedies are given in a water-alcohol mixture, in lactose pills


impregnated with a potentised remedy liquid, or via the ethers when remedies are
transmitted, such as in radionics.

At the potency C12, there are in principle no molecules present of the original
remedy substance, such as a plant juice. The dilution here is 1 to a number with 24
zeroes. No toxic remedy molecules will be present in this or higher potencies, unless
you consider lactose (milk sugar) or alcohol in minute quantities as toxic (possibly
diabetics or reformed alcoholics, respectively).

There are those who would like you to believe that homeopathic remedies can kill
you, among others, certain people in the medical or pharmaceutical industries. (You
might check the statistics for how many people die from taking pharmaceutical
medicines each year—last I checked it was about 100,000 persons in the USA.)
Homeopathic remedies are cheap and resulting profit losses for such individuals and
firms could become quite large, not to mention loss of status and respectability.

8. How do you handle sceptics?

Do not waste any energy on sceptics. The bible quotation ‖Neither cast ye your
pearls before swine.‖ from Matthew vii. 6. is quite fitting here.

136
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Appendices
Sceptics who will not be convinced are mostly low-energy, confused individuals who
consciously or unconsciously are there to suck your vitality—energy vampires.

Sceptics will not change their minds no matter what proof or arguments you present.

Don‘t waste your energy. At some future time, perhaps long hence, they may learn
something about life.

9. Why not give two or more different remedies at the same time, each remedy
covering different aspects of the patient‘s symptom picture?

This could be done if such a combination of remedies had been proven, the
symptoms registered in a materia medica and the combination remedy symptom
picture fit the symptom picture of the patient.

Otherwise, one would not know which remedy caused an improvement, and how to
proceed thereafter according to the principles of homeopathy as developed by
Hahnemann.

Appendix – Legal Aspects

APPENDIX B - Legal aspects in practicing homeopathy

In many countries you need to be a medical doctor to be able to prescribe homeopathic


remedies. This is somewhat ironic as medical officialdom claims that homeopathy does
not work. Go figure. The ignorance and looniness of man is oftentimes astounding.

This restriction, of course, applies if you hang up a shingle and advertise that you
are treating—not to mention, curing—patients. In treating acute illness there should be
no problem anywhere, in particular, if you are treating rational and emotionally stable
family and friends. You might check to see where any official watchdogs might be
hiding.

In general, go ahead and treat people and animals with homeopathic remedies. You
will be serving them well. In addition to being cured, they will be receiving a boost to
their immune system with natural remedies, rather than the toxic, side-effect producing
chemicals sold by pharmacies and prescribed slavishly by well-indoctrinated, bonus-
rewarded doctors that end up overloading your liver and causing other mischief in your
body—followed by a deteriorating life quality and miserable old age (if you get that far
alive).

For legal aspects you might check European Council for Classical Homeopathy
(ECCH) The representative platform for the homeopathy profession in Europe made up
of 26 member professional associations in 22 EU, EEA and CEE countries. There you
will also find the new International Council for Classical Homeopathy (ICCH).

Appendix – Bach Flower Remedy Table

APPENDIX E - Bach Flower remedy table

Bach flower remedies can be given in conjunction with homeopathic remedies. They are
particularly useful in children and adolescents when there are no significant symptoms besides
for a mental-emotional state.

These remedies are also very useful in adults to improve mental-emotional states. Often they
are given after a homeopathic remedy has worked well and the homeopath wants to improve
the mental-emotional state of the patient.

Appendix – Glossary

APPENDIX F - Glossary

Acute illness: A disorder having a rapid onset and evolution and generally a relatively
short recovery period. It is characterized by a latent period, a period of exacerbation,
and then a period of decline of symptoms which may result either in cure or in death.

Allopathy (Greek, allos=other, pathos=suffering): The treatment of disease using


medications whose effects are contrary to those of the disease manifestations. The
chemical substance employed as therapy, bears no particular relationship to the
disorder being treated.

Antidote: A homeopathic remedy—or a substance such as coffee, or camphor—that


can stop the effects of another homeopathic remedy.

Chronic illness: A disorder of long duration, one of frequent recurrence, or one with a
progressive long drawn-out course, generally having no natural tendency to recovery.

Cure: The highest ideal of cure is rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of the health,
or removal and annihilation of the disease in its whole extent, in the shortest, most
reliable, and most harmless way, on easily comprehensible principles. Samuel
Hahnemann, Organon.

Dynamization: A term denoting the raising of the energy of a remedy substance up to


more ethereal levels, where the qualities of the remedy are recorded as information
that can affect the etheric and higher auric levels of a person who has taken the
remedy, and effect a curative change when the qualities of the remedy correspond with
the symptoms of the person.

Health: Health is freedom from pain in the physical body, having attained a state of
well-being; freedom from passion on the emotional level, having as a result a dynamic
state of serenity and calm; and freedom from selfishness in the mental sphere, having
as a result total unification with Truth. George Vithoulkas, The Science of Homeopathy.

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the
absence of disease or infirmity, WHO (World Health Organization).

Health signifies freedom, spontaneity and being in the present. The spirit within is able
to fulfil the requirements of the situation. A sick man can fulfil only those special
situations in which his conditions for OK-ness are fulfilled, Rajan Sankaran, The Spirit
of Homeopathy.

Holistic: Relating to or concerned with wholes, whole systems, rather than parts.

Homeopathy (Greek, homoios=similar, pathos=suffering): The system of healing


developed by the German medical doctor Samuel Hahnemann in the 19th century
which states that the cure of a disorder is obtained by the administration of a potentised
remedy which in its crude or potentised form would cause symptoms to appear in a
healthy person that are similar to those presented by the patient.

Homeostasis: A state of equilibrium between processes tending to disorder the


organism and processes which tend to maintain order.

Appendix – Glossary

Lactose: A sugar found, among others, in milk. Also known as milk sugar.

Materia Medica: A book, or books, containing lists of remedies with their symptoms
which are graded as to intensity and sorted into categories such as: mind, general
symptoms, head, eyes, face, nose, etc.

Miasm: Initially in homeopathy, miasms were considered disease-producing


tendencies inherited from ancestors who had syphilis, gonorrhoea or scabies. Now
cancer and tuberculosis are also included. Miasms are disease tendencies passed
from parent to child. Such tendencies can be greatly reduced with homeopathic
treatment.

Mother tincture: All the remedy substances that are soluble in alcohol or water are
first prepared in mother tincture form, from which further potencies are prepared. A
mother tincture is the extract of the original drug substance; the extract being made
with alcohol or water in a certain proportion. Insoluble remedy substances are first
prepared to 3C by trituration and then a portion is passed to the liquid form.

Nosode: A disease product. The word nosode is derived from the Greek Nosonos
meaning disease. Nosode is the homoeopathic designation for morbid products of
disease when employed as remedies, e.g. for Psorinum, Ambra grisea, Tuberculinum.
The medicinal substances are prepared from the disease products or excretions of
living organisms.

Plussing: Dissolving a homeopathic remedy in a container of water, such as a


disposable plastic cup. The remedy is stirred about five times each time before the
patient takes a sip of the remedy. This slightly increases the potency and is an effective
way of treating an acute condition such as the flu, diarrhoea, etc.

Potency: The energization of a remedy indicated with designations such as 30C


obtained by repeated dilution and dynamization (succussion or trituration) of a remedy
source. In general, lower potencies (3C to 30C) often have a more physical effect,
medium potencies (around 200C) a more mental-emotional effect, and high potencies
(1M and higher) a more mental-spiritual effect, although this is a loosely applied rule.

Potency scale: The main potency scales used in homeopathy are the C, D and LM
scales. The D scale is also known as the X scale. The LM scale is also known as the Q
scale, although they are not completely identical in preparation. There is also a KSM
scale introduced by the Godoy pharmacy in Argentina, which involves succussing a
thousand times, rather than the customary one hundred times, or less.

Proving: This is the name given to the procedure for testing substances on healthy
persons so as to record the mental, emotional and physical symptoms they bring about
in test subjects after being administered regularly in homeopathic doses over a given
period of time.

These symptoms are recorded in a Materia Medica. The substance now has obtained
the status of a remedy that is capable of curing the symptoms listed for it in the Materia
Medica.

Appendix – Glossary

The set of symptoms for a remedy can be seen to form a personality picture, as it
includes mental, emotional as well as physical descriptions. Thus, we have what is
called a remedy picture.

Radiesthesia: The art and science of detecting subtle vibrations from objects, people,
ideas using a device such as a pendulum. Radiesthesia has been used for centuries to
detect subterranean water and minerals. It is also used to diagnose patients, find
missing persons, obtain answers to questions. Practitioners require a certain power of
concentration and an ability to maintain an empty mind.

Radionics: Treatment of patients at a distance with homeopathic and other remedies


by transmission through the etheric level.

Repertory: An index over remedies listed in the Materia Medica. A Repertory consists
of chapters with titles such as "Mind," "Head," "Face," etc., each chapter containing
symptoms related to the chapter heading, and each symptom containing a graded list
of remedies that have the symptom concerned.

Succussion: A process of potentization of soluble substances, whether soluble in


water or in alcohol. Alcohol is used in almost all cases except when a remedy
substance is water soluble only. In such cases, it is prepared in alcohol after a certain
degree of attenuation has been obtained.

Symptom: A symptom is an observable change in the mental, emotional and/or


physical condition of a person. Such changes result from an imbalance in the vital
force of the person.

Symptom picture: All the patient‘s symptoms, present and past, on the physical,
emotional, mental and spiritual levels.

Tetanus: A medical condition characterized by a prolonged contraction of skeletal


muscles. Infection takes place through wound contamination by the bacterium
Clostridum tetani. Later, muscle spasms develop in the jaw (lockjaw) and elsewhere in
the body. Fatality is about 10%.

Trituration: This is a process for reducing the particle size of a medicinal substance for
the purpose of making a homeopathic remedy from it. The finer the particles are, the
easier and longer they are suspended in a liquid. These substances are prepared by
fine subdivision with a pestle and mortar in milk sugar (lactose).

Vital force: There is one basic difference between a living and a dead body. This is the
vital force. It is the job of the vital force to maintain homeostasis.

When a person is healthy he or she is at ease, feeling comfortable and is more or less
unaware of the functions carried out by the body, such as the heart beat, breathing and
digestion. It is the vital force that governs these functions.

However, as soon as the existence of an organ is felt due to discomfort caused by


improper functioning, it signifies that the vital force has been disturbed and is producing
symptoms as a call for help. The diseased person will now seek the help of a therapist
to obtain relief from this suffering.

The author’s view on homeopathy and the evolution of mankind

As mankind is carried forward on the inexorable flood of evolution from material to


spiritual levels, the demand for spiritualized medicine will increase, as man‘s
awareness of what really causes illness will demand it.

This striving towards the spiritual is already seen, among others, in such therapies
as acupuncture, Chinese medicine, ayurveda, homeopathy, radionics and naturopathy.

In addition to the above preventive and curative therapies, preventive technologies,


such as Feng Shui, geobiology, domotherapy, formology, colon and liver cleaning and
detox procedures, homeopathic immunization against diseases, healthy diets and yoga
will all pay great health dividends.

However, the time will come when evolved man will heal himself by means of
meditative practices.

If you have not reached such a meditative point yet, instead of pursuing orthodox
toxic and health-debilitating drug medicine, it will be a wise move to check out the
health possibilities offered by spiritually-oriented therapies and move to the forefront of
the river of evolution.

Also the quality of the paper and bindings is
generally lower than one is used to in the West.

However, you won‘t find prices that are lower and


many Western bookstores will sell you Jain editions
anyway at a much higher price.

Appendix – Resources, Practitioners

Practitioners

Types of practitioners

Homeopathic practitioners can be found just about everywhere nowadays as this form
of therapy is becoming more and more popular all over the world.

As indicated in this book under Types of homeopathy, many practitioners call


themselves homeopaths who don't practice what is known as Classical Homeopathy,
but as they use homeopathic remedies they call themselves homeopaths. This is
especially true of medical doctors and therapists who use electronic instruments for
diagnosis. In certain countries, such as France, the use of mixed remedies is the norm.

Classical homeopathy follows the natural law of healing by similars: administering a


remedy that has produced a similar (the prefix homeo- is derived from Greek and
means similar) symptom picture in healthy persons as the symptom picture of the sick
person (the suffix –pathy is derived from Greek and means suffering). Thus
homeopathy means similar suffering. To know which remedy is similar in this regard, it
has to be tested (proven) first on healthy people.

Thus the use of mixtures of homeopathic remedies, called compound or complex


remedies, that have not been proven cannot be called homeopathy (possibly such
therapies should be called polypathy), although homeopathic remedies are used.

The therapy in question may be based on some other findings, and in any case give
results, although one should be aware of the difference between symptom suppression
and cure. In both cases a symptom or symptoms vanish and a cure is pronounced.
However, in the case of suppression, the disturbance causing the symptom is pushed
deeper into the organism, causing a more profound problem. For example, a
suppressed skin eruption leading to arthritis or asthma.

I had a patient once who was so stiff in the morning that it took her an hour to get
out of bed. I gave her an indicated remedy to take once and in a week or so the
stiffness was gone and she could get out of her bed rapidly. However, a skin eruption
appeared that spoiled her beauty. She told me that she used to have this eruption, but
after application of a cortisone cream it had disappeared. Now it was back again. I told
her the eruption could be treated with homeopathic remedies, but she was impatient to
regain her questionable beauty and applied the cortisone cream again. A week later
the eruption was gone, but now the stiffness was back and, as before, it took an hour
for her to get out of bed.

How to recognize a classical homeopath

A classical homeopath will spend an hour or more with a patient in the first
consultation, asking all sorts of questions, including about previous illnesses, the family
history of illnesses, detailed descriptions of mental, emotional and physical symptoms.
After a search for the right remedy, the patient is usually given just one pill to take and
told to return in a month for a follow-up consultation. Depending on the severity of the
problem additional consultations may be needed at monthly intervals. A rule of thumb
is one month of treatment for every year of chronic illness, although this is by no means

166
Learn how to prescribe acute homeopathic remedies for your family, friends and pets
Appendix – Resources, Practitioners

the norm. I have had patients with long-term problems who were cured in a matter of
days, even hours.

When you have found a classical homeopath, the next factor of importance is
his/her reputation. Find one who is recommended by others for producing good results
and has been practicing for some years. It takes about ten years to become an
accomplished homeopath. However, there are always exceptions to the rule.

Another factor to consider is that one practitioner may not really understand your
problem as it is a blind spot in his/her makeup, while another practitioner will
understand you and see the remedy immediately.

Of course, in the larger scope of things, when you have learned the lesson your
disease or problem is meant to teach, you will find the right therapist to cure you.

Directories of homeopathic practitioners

For Europe a good starting point is the European Council for Classical Homeopathy
(ECCH  www.homeopathy-ecch.org) based in London. Most countries in Europe
have an association of homeopaths, which is listed on the ECCH website. ECCH is
expanding into an ICCH, or International Council of Classical Homeopathy, and you will
find a listing of associations for other countries, such as the USA, Canada, Australia
and Japan.

For the US, check with the North American Society of Homeopaths (NASH).

In South America, each country has their own homeopathic associationsmainly


for medical doctorswhich you can find by searching the internet.

Homeopathic web clinics

You will also find a number of clinics on the internet, such as my own
http://www.clinic.euni.org (English) and http://www.clinica.euni.org (Spanish). It is, of
course, preferable to consult a homeopath in person, but if this is not possible you have
this option available.
